Statement on Sheriff's Office Investigation from San Mateo County Supervisors Noelia Corzo and Ray Mueller on Behalf of the Board of Supervisors:

"The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors is committed to upholding due process and ensuring public trust in the County and Sheriff's Office.

We remain committed to the ongoing investigation into the dozens of allegations made regarding the Sheriff's Office.

Last night, Sheriff Christina Corpus made various accusations against County Executive Mike Callagy and followed up with a multi-page complaint that the Board of Supervisors received late this morning. We are reviewing her complaint and will take the necessary time to determine the appropriate course of action.

County Executive Callagy has informed the Board that he rejects the sheriff's claims as false and defamatory, and he welcomes a full, transparent, and independent investigation into any allegations made against him. County Executive Callagy has requested that the full results of any such investigation be shared with the public.

County Executive Callagy has been an ethical public servant in San Mateo County for over 41 years. Unless proven otherwise, the Board will remain united in its full faith and trust in his leadership."
