"The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors today (Nov. 12) appointed Former Santa Clara County Undersheriff Ken Binder to replace fired sheriff Christina Corpus. Four of the five supervisors voted for Binder while Supervisor David Canepa supported former San Francisco Assistant Police Chief David Lazar. Corzo said she believes Binder will be a sheriff the county can trust, which was a slogan Corpus used when she ran for sheriff in 2022, "a sheriff you can trust.""
"Binder said previously he would want to have former Undersheriff Chris Hsiung and former Assistant Sheriff Ryan Monghan as part of this team. His brother is Palo Alto's police chief, Andrew Binder. Binder said he would fill vacancies and has a list of promotions to make if appointed. He also said he wanted to review the standing polices to make sure they are in alignment with the community's expectations and internal affairs investigations."
"Canepa voted for Lazar, saying he has concerns about Binder's role in various scandals in the Santa Clara County's office over the years, including previous sheriff Laurie Smith resigning shortly before a jury convicted her of trading concealed carry weapons permits for campaign contributions, iPads and concert tickets. Canepa also raised concerns about deaths in the Santa Clara County jails."
Ken Binder was appointed San Mateo County sheriff by a 4-1 vote of the Board of Supervisors to replace fired sheriff Christina Corpus. Supervisor David Canepa voted for David Lazar and cited concerns about Binder's role in past scandals in the Santa Clara County sheriff's office and about deaths in county jails. Binder said he would fill vacancies, has a list of promotions, and would review standing policies to align with community expectations and internal affairs investigations. Binder named possible team members and received support from the sergeants union while defending his record of stability and integrity.
