"What we can verify is that the city had no knowledge of the dwelling units inside the police station until a routine inspection found them,"
"Unfortunately, one of the doors was not accessible to our staff as the locks had been replaced by the police bureau without city knowledge."
"It is city of Millbrae policy to not drink while on the job or come to work under the influence of any substance including alcohol,"
"using public property for personal need or convenience is also against city ethics policy."
Two weeks after former Sheriff Christina Corpus was removed for alleged retaliation and conflict-of-interest violations, the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office faces allegations that Capt. Eamonn Allen used Millbrae police station as living quarters while residing in Idaho. Millbrae officials reported no prior knowledge of the dwelling units until a routine building inspection discovered them and found replacement locks that prevented staff access. A container of alcohol was located in the station. The city did not fund construction; station utilities are city-covered but any additional costs are unclear. Questions about authorization, policy and compliance to the sheriff's office remained unanswered.
