"EXCLUSIVE: Millbrae police chief facing questions for allegedly commuting to work from Idaho Wednesday marked five days since Noyes' first report and Chief Allen was sitting there during the City Council's public comment. He left right after, and the I-Team caught up with him at the police station's front door. "Eamonn, have you found a place to stay besides the police station?" Dan Noyes asked. "Do you have any comments about the report?" He did not respond."
"Beyond the issue of using taxpayer facilities for personal benefit, this raises questions about a first responder with a 646-mile drive to work or a 1.35-hour flight. "Not able to return to work on short notice in the event of an emergency is ridiculous," former SFPD Commander Richard Corriea said. The City of Millbrae contracts with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services. Allen acts as Millbrae police chief, but he's also a sheriff's captain."
Millbrae Police Chief Eamonn Allen reportedly lives in Idaho and allegedly slept in the Millbrae police station during the workweek. Mayor Anders Fung called for a thorough investigation and said he has not heard from the chief and needs facts about the allegations. Allen was given opportunities to respond in public and at the station but did not answer. The situation raises questions about use of taxpayer facilities, a 646-mile commute or a 1.35-hour flight, and the chief's ability to respond to emergencies on short notice. The City contracts with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office and Allen also serves as a sheriff's captain.
