In a significant move, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors has voted to adopt two resolutions following an independent investigation that upheld 12 out of 15 allegations against Sheriff Christina Corpus and her executive director, Victor Anje. The board's actions include abolishing the executive director position and its associated salary, expressing no confidence in Sheriff Corpus, and calling for her resignation.

The investigation, led by Judge Ladoras Cordell, revealed serious issues within the sheriff's office, including a toxic work environment that has reportedly led to the departure of over 100 employees. The board emphasized that the sheriff's leadership has resulted in diminished morale and public safety concerns. Judge Cordell's report stated that \"nothing short of new leadership can save this organization,\" prompting the board to take decisive action.

In addition to the resolutions, the board directed the transmission of the investigation findings to the San Mateo County District Attorney, the California Attorney General, and other relevant agencies. They also authorized the release of the investigation report and initiated preparations for a charter amendment that would allow the board to remove the sheriff for good cause.

The board condemned the allegations of racial and homophobic slurs against Sheriff Corpus, labeling them as reprehensible and contrary to the county's values. They also highlighted ongoing issues of intimidation and retaliation within the sheriff's office, including a recent incident involving the arrest of the Sheriff Deputy Association President, which they deemed a violation of policy.

The board's actions reflect a commitment to accountability and oversight, as they seek to restore integrity and morale within the sheriff's office. They expressed gratitude to the dedicated staff who continue to serve amid these challenges and reiterated their hope for positive change in the department's leadership.
