Capt. Christina Corpus has taken an innovative approach toward strengthening public safety and public service during her time as chief of Millbrae.
She continues to introduce effective and innovative programs to serve the community and better support deputies. She partnered with LifeMoves to provide deputies with a resource to which to refer unhoused people with mental health conditions. The LifeMoves community group then found housing for 64 of those identified. This is smart policing — it supplies deputies with resources they badly need, it helps a vulnerable population, and it reduces the number of calls and disturbances. This is a great example of what it is to move the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office to 21st century policing.
I am voting for Christina Corpus for sheriff on June 7.
Thanks for sharing this! I was a volunteer with Life Moves for over 20 years and am so glad to see police working with their teams. I've been very impressed with Christina Corpus as well and am glad she is running in this race.
Minu, that is a good example, but I’d still prefer Sheriff Bolanos, with a multi-year track record of keeping all of San Mateo County safe. 21st century policing is fine, but we still need traditional policing to keep everyone safe. Perhaps Sheriff Bolanos will expand the program if it is found to be beneficial.
“This is smart policing.” it helps a vulnerable population.” I know nothing about “LifeMoves,” but if the author believes this is “smart policing” My question for Corpus (and the LTE author) is: have this “smart policing” been brought to the Sheriff's management table to discuss/implement LifeMoves throughout the communities served by the Sheriff's Office? Or is this just available in her little slice of the county?

I agree, Minu. Time for a fresh perspective.
