San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus has been named to California’s jail oversight board by Governor Gavin Newsom.
San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus has been named to California’s jail oversight board by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Her appointment to the Board of State and Community Corrections, which requires Senate confirmation, was announced by the governor’s office Friday.
The board was created in 2011 when a prison realignment plan, responding to severe overcrowding, shifted to counties the responsibility for holding lower-level offenders.
Corpus has served as sheriff of San Mateo County since 2023. She served in several positions with the sheriff’s office from 2002 to 2022, rising from a correctional officer to headquarters patrol captain, and was Millbrae’s police chief from 2022 to 2023.
Corpus holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and law enforcement administration from the Union Institute and University and a master’s degree in law enforcement and public safety leadership from the University of San Diego.

Congratulations Sheriff Corpus! This is a great vote of confidence in your leadership.
A vote from Sacramento, but what about the rank and file? The life blood of the office.
