Application Opens For Next SMC Sheriff, County Will Hold Public Interviews

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — The County of San Mateo published an advertisement for a new sheriff Wednesday after removing the former sheriff earlier this month.

After the Board of Supervisors voted to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus on Oct. 14, they now must begin the search for her replacement.

Applications are due by noon on Nov. 5. Candidates must reside in San Mateo County and meet state requirements.

The Board of Supervisors, along with nearly 100 residents who shared their views at a special meeting on Oct. 28, shaped the job description and recruitment process for the next sheriff, officials said.

The County announced a two-week public process to select the new Sheriff, including interviews and a public candidate forum where questions can now be submitted. Applicants must provide a short video, photo, and written summary of their interest and leadership philosophy for public review.

On Thursday supervisors will hold a public meeting to interview all qualified candidates and identify the finalists.

On Nov. 10, a public Candidates Forum will be held, during which a moderator will ask finalists questions submitted by residents.

The Board will conduct final interviews and make a final selection at a public meeting on Nov. 12.
