"San Mateo County is moving quickly to fill its vacant sheriff's position following the unprecedented removal of Christina Corpus, who was both the first Latina elected to the role in 2022 and the first sheriff in the state removed by a board of supervisors amid conflict-of-interest and retaliation accusations. After supervisors voted Tuesday to appoint a replacement rather than hold a special election, the county published its qualifications and application process Wednesday night."
"Submissions are due by noon on Nov. 5. The county will have just eight days to select a new sheriff to meet the Nov. 13 deadline set by a charter amendment. Staff have been directed to pursue an appointment process that emphasizes transparency, accountability and community trust. To be considered, candidates must be San Mateo County residents and meet state requirements, including holding a valid California Peace Officer Standards and Training certificate or demonstrating equivalent education and experience."

The Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to appoint rather than hold a costly special election. The county published qualifications and an application process with submissions due by noon on Nov. 5. Candidates must be county residents and meet state requirements, including a valid POST certificate or equivalent experience. Public interviews, a candidates forum, and final interviews are scheduled between Nov. 6 and Nov. 12 to allow community input before the board selects the new sheriff.
