The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors said it is aware of multiple allegations against personnel related to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office and is conducting an appropriate investigation to ensure fairness and due process.
"We take these allegations very seriously. At the same time, we want to ensure an impartial investigation and evaluation of these allegations to ensure fairness and due process for all parties," the Board of Supervisors said in a statement.
In it, he also reported that Judge LaDoris Cordell has been tasked with leading an independent investigation into the numerous complaints filed by sworn staff members of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
This investigation, they said, is separate and distinct from ongoing investigations into allegations of unfair labor practices filed with the Public Labor Relations Board.
San Mateo County Supervisors Noelia Corzo and Ray Mueller have been appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve as spokespersons on this matter.
"The Board of Supervisors is committed to leveraging all available resources to ensure that San Mateo County residents receive the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct in County services. We are also dedicated to ensuring that County employees are treated fairly, with dignity and in accordance with the law," they stressed.
Supervisors said the findings of the investigation will be used to guide next steps.
“Our goal is to ensure a thorough and independent review of all allegations, bring the facts to light, and maintain accountability and integrity as our top priorities, both for the members of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and for our community.”
