The San Mateo Board of Supervisors is initiating the removal process for Sheriff Christina Corpus, following allegations of misconduct against her. Voters had empowered the board to dismiss the sheriff through Measure A. Key accusations include 'conduct unbecoming' related to her firing of Assistant Sheriff Ryan Monaghan and arresting Deputy Carlos Tapia for alleged fraud. Additionally, there are claims of an inappropriate relationship with her former chief of staff. A hearing will provide Corpus the opportunity to defend herself against these charges as the county also pursues civil avenues for her removal.
The newly scheduled hearing will address serious accusations against Sheriff Christina Corpus, such as 'conduct unbecoming' and various instances of alleged misconduct with her staff.
Sources indicate the accusations arise from actions taken against subordinates including termination and disciplinary investigations, with claims that these were retaliatory rather than justified.
