"content": "\u003cp>Embattled San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus and her inner circle have come under intense fire in recent weeks amid mounting accusations that she and her executive director — and alleged lover — have consistently abused their power since taking office less than two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, the department’s five remaining captains \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015360/embattled-san-mateo-county-sheriff-faces-mounting-calls-resign\">called on her and Undersheriff Dan Perea\u003c/a> — the only remaining member of her executive team — to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The two are literally left standing alone in the sheriff’s department,” County Supervisor Ray Mueller said at a press conference on Thursday. “The sheriff has lost the faith and trust of her team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a whirlwind two weeks, Corpus’ office arrested the president of the deputies’ union and promoted Executive Director Victor Aenlle to a sworn position that officials say he’s not legally allowed to fill. County supervisors, meanwhile, are now pursuing a charter amendment to remove Corpus from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make sense of it all, KQED has stitched together a timeline to illustrate how Corpus went from a trailblazing candidate who promised transparency and accountability to a sheriff accused of dubious behavior and blatant nepotism, running a department plagued with “lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority,” according to a recent independent investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \u003ca href=\"https://sanmateocounty.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13544883&GUID=95923619-2B6F-477A-8684-CD64124A3BAA\">408-page “independent fact-finding investigation”\u003c/a> — on which this timeline is largely based — was commissioned by county officials in July following an “unprecedented” number of complaints about Aenlle. Conducted by retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris H. Cordell and released earlier this month, the sprawling report details a litany of transgressions, starting from when Corpus was a candidate for sheriff to as recently as this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2021–2022: Early warning signs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Corpus \u003ca href=\"https://www.almanacnews.com/news/2022/05/11/voter-guide-christina-corpus-aims-to-change-sheriffs-office-culture-through-community-based-policing-and-transparency/\">started her law enforcement career\u003c/a> as a caseworker for the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office and later as a corrections officer. She became a deputy sheriff in 2005, rising to the rank of captain and serving Millbrae’s chief of police until becoming sheriff in January 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus announced she was running for sheriff in July 2021, challenging her boss, then-Sheriff Carlos Bolanos. She was the first female and first Latina candidate to seek the position in county history. Running on the promise of bringing a “culture change” to the office, she ousted Bolanos, winning 55% of the vote in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ktvu.com/news/californias-first-two-latina-sheriffs-beat-incumbents-in-stunning-upset\">primaries in June 2022\u003c/a> and became \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcsheriff.com/sheriff-christina-corpus\">one of the first Latina sheriffs in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during her campaign, several sheriff’s office employees said they started noticing signs that Corpus had a more-than-friendly relationship with Aenlle, her campaign manager, a real estate agent and once reserve deputy with the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employees would later tell Cordell that they’d see the sheriff and Aenlle massaging each other at the Millbrae station, “pecking” each other on the lips and texting each other inappropriate messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus allegedly described Aenlle to one employee as “jealous and protective,” but “If he ever leaves me, I don’t know how I’ll make it. I won’t survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Corpus and Aenlle regularly denied their extramarital relationship existed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some employees also later reported witnessing disturbing behavior, including an instance in early 2022, when Corpus, then a captain, allegedly used the N-word twice to describe Bolanos in front of a civilian employee, and, in separate incidents, used “a homophobic slur” to refer to a local elected official.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe a sheriff who makes homophobic slurs like that is not fit for office, period,” Mueller said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after her victory, Corpus made an “unprecedented” request for a transition team, which included Aenlle. At one of their first meetings, Aenlle required team members to use the encrypted messaging system \u003cem>Signal\u003c/em> and sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), warning that if anyone leaked information, “We’ll come after you; you’ll get sued,” according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2022, soon after a former sheriff’s department employee spotted Corpus and Aenlle at SFO boarding a flight together to Maui, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/profile/mike-callagy\">County Executive Officer Mike Callagy\u003c/a> confronted her about the trip. Corpus said she and Aenlle were “good friends” and that he came to help with her kids. “It’s the good ole’ boys spreading rumors about me because I’m Latina,” she allegedly told Callagy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callagy disagreed, saying if he knew they were friends, he wouldn’t have approved Aenlle’s contract, so he terminated it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Corpus and Aenlle\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Corpus was sworn in as sheriff, Aenlle signed a $92-an-hour one-year contract with her office. Three months later, Corpus assigned him an “extra help” position, paying him an additional $73 per hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus then created the position of executive director of administration with an annual salary of almost $247,000. The job wasn’t publicly advertised, and no one but Aenlle applied. Corpus hired him in July 2023.

County supervisors, meanwhile, are now pursuing a charter amendment to remove Corpus from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make sense of it all, KQED has stitched together a timeline to illustrate how Corpus went from a trailblazing candidate who promised transparency and accountability to a sheriff accused of dubious behavior and blatant nepotism, running a department plagued with “lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority,” according to a recent independent investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \u003ca href=\"https://sanmateocounty.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13544883&GUID=95923619-2B6F-477A-8684-CD64124A3BAA\">408-page “independent fact-finding investigation”\u003c/a> — on which this timeline is largely based — was commissioned by county officials in July following an “unprecedented” number of complaints about Aenlle. Conducted by retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris H. Cordell and released earlier this month, the sprawling report details a litany of transgressions, starting from when Corpus was a candidate for sheriff to as recently as this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2021–2022: Early warning signs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Corpus \u003ca href=\"https://www.almanacnews.com/news/2022/05/11/voter-guide-christina-corpus-aims-to-change-sheriffs-office-culture-through-community-based-policing-and-transparency/\">started her law enforcement career\u003c/a> as a caseworker for the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office and later as a corrections officer. She became a deputy sheriff in 2005, rising to the rank of captain and serving Millbrae’s chief of police until becoming sheriff in January 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus announced she was running for sheriff in July 2021, challenging her boss, then-Sheriff Carlos Bolanos. She was the first female and first Latina candidate to seek the position in county history. Running on the promise of bringing a “culture change” to the office, she ousted Bolanos, winning 55% of the vote in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ktvu.com/news/californias-first-two-latina-sheriffs-beat-incumbents-in-stunning-upset\">primaries in June 2022\u003c/a> and became \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcsheriff.com/sheriff-christina-corpus\">one of the first Latina sheriffs in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during her campaign, several sheriff’s office employees said they started noticing signs that Corpus had a more-than-friendly relationship with Aenlle, her campaign manager, a real estate agent and once reserve deputy with the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employees would later tell Cordell that they’d see the sheriff and Aenlle massaging each other at the Millbrae station, “pecking” each other on the lips and texting each other inappropriate messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus allegedly described Aenlle to one employee as “jealous and protective,” but “If he ever leaves me, I don’t know how I’ll make it. I won’t survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Corpus and Aenlle regularly denied their extramarital relationship existed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some employees also later reported witnessing disturbing behavior, including an instance in early 2022, when Corpus, then a captain, allegedly used the N-word twice to describe Bolanos in front of a civilian employee, and, in separate incidents, used “a homophobic slur” to refer to a local elected official.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe a sheriff who makes homophobic slurs like that is not fit for office, period,” Mueller said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after her victory, Corpus made an “unprecedented” request for a transition team, which included Aenlle. At one of their first meetings, Aenlle required team members to use the encrypted messaging system \u003cem>Signal\u003c/em> and sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), warning that if anyone leaked information, “We’ll come after you; you’ll get sued,” according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2022, soon after a former sheriff’s department employee spotted Corpus and Aenlle at SFO boarding a flight together to Maui, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/profile/mike-callagy\">County Executive Officer Mike Callagy\u003c/a> confronted her about the trip. Corpus said she and Aenlle were “good friends” and that he came to help with her kids. “It’s the good ole’ boys spreading rumors about me because I’m Latina,” she allegedly told Callagy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callagy disagreed, saying if he knew they were friends, he wouldn’t have approved Aenlle’s contract, so he terminated it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Corpus and Aenlle\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Corpus was sworn in as sheriff, Aenlle signed a $92-an-hour one-year contract with her office. Three months later, Corpus assigned him an “extra help” position, paying him an additional $73 per hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus then created the position of executive director of administration with an annual salary of almost $247,000. The job wasn’t publicly advertised, and no one but Aenlle applied. Corpus hired him in July 2023. She later went on to request pay raises for him on three occasions, all of which the county rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>September 2023: The county signed a $44,000-a-month, 10-year lease for a building in Redwood City to use as a new substation and child care facility.

County Executive Mike Callagy issued an order barring Aenlle from all county buildings not accessible to the public, including parts of the sheriff’s office. He said violating that order could come with civil and criminal penalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the vote, Corpus made a brief appearance before the board, saying she was the victim of a politically motivated attack and was immediately promoting Aenlle to assistant sheriff, a sworn position. She then walked out of council chambers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before she left, Supervisor Ray Mueller asked Corpus if she would agree to an interview with the retired judge who compiled \u003ca href=\"https://sanmateocounty.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13544883&GUID=95923619-2B6F-477A-8684-CD64124A3BAA\">the 408-page report\u003c/a>, released Tuesday, that found evidence of abuse of power, intimidation and retaliation among members of her leadership team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus did not respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just unbelievable,” Mueller later said of Corpus’ decision to promote Aenlle, who the sheriff has allegedly had a romantic relationship with for several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, colleagues, we enter into a new stage in the investigation,” Mueller said, suggesting that subpoenas may soon be issued to compel people to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Nibbelin, county counsel, couldn’t say definitively if Aenlle, who is not a sworn officer, was legally qualified to serve as assistant sheriff. Mueller called the promotion “prophylactic” to spare Aenlle from the board’s action.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Lies, secrecy, intimidation’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris H. Cordell, who led the investigation, called for Corpus to step down, arguing in the report that “nothing short of new leadership can save this organization that is in turmoil, and its personnel demoralized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordell has previously audited multiple other Bay Area law enforcement agencies, including a San Francisco Police Department investigation in 2015 when several of its \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10915530/five-more-sfpd-officers-sent-bigoted-text-messages-even-during-textgate-scandal\">officers were found to have exchanged racist texts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fear of retaliation is rampant in the organization,” Cordell wrote in the report. “Lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority are the hallmarks of the Corpus administration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours before the report was released, Carlos Tapia, president of the San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, and a vocal critic of the Corpus, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/11/12/san-mateo-county-carlos-tapia-arrest/\">turned himself in\u003c/a> to the sheriff’s office and was arrested on multiple charges, including felony grand theft. Details of his alleged crimes have not yet been made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will not be intimidated by our sheriff.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 3:30 p.m. Tuesday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors \u003ca href=\"https://sanmateocounty.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12512250&GUID=EA181DDC-F74E-410B-837C-2B66990FE7DA\">unanimously approved a resolution\u003c/a> on Tuesday establishing an independent civilian advisory commission to oversee the Sheriff’s Office, with added language to hire one or more inspector generals to help steer it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under the resolution, the seven-member commission will include a sheriff’s appointee and not have any subpoena power, a major point of contention among some residents who argue the body won’t have the authority or independence it needs to spur any real reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Belmont resident Beth von Emster was one of nearly 20 people who urged supervisors during public comment to delay the vote and rework the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The provision in the resolution giving the sheriff the power to nominate one of the seven commissioners is astonishing,” she said. “That nomination power robs the commission of its independence from the very department it’s purporting to observe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s vote comes after months of debate over which oversight model would work best for the county. A group of criminal justice advocates pushed for the commission — which will include five community members through an application process — and has argued that it should have subpoena power to hold sheriff’s deputies accountable. Critics of that proposal, however, said such power should be reserved for county-elected officials, as is currently the case. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jim Lawrence, executive director, Fixin’ San Mateo County\"]‘We believe that using subpoena power will be the last resort. We really want this organization to build a relationship with the sheriff’s office to ensure there is open dialogue.’[/pullquote]“Its purpose is to advise the Board of Supervisors, so if there was a specific issue they were concerned about, they would just come forward and advise us. We would [then] consider it, debate it and take it from there,” said District 4 Supervisor Warren Slocum, one of the resolution’s sponsors, who favored a commission without subpoena power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Lawrence, executive director of Fixin’ San Mateo County, a nonprofit advocacy group working to create stronger police oversight in the county, said he does not believe the advisory board will use subpoena irresponsibly because there will be other approaches on the table beforehand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that using subpoena power will be the last resort. We really want this organization to build a relationship with the sheriff’s office to ensure there is open dialogue,” Lawrence said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other counties have established similar oversight boards — including Alameda, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Napa and Sonoma. Some have subpoena powers in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence pointed out that in the last couple of years, the county has paid millions of dollars in settlements to civilians who’ve sued over negative interactions with the sheriff’s department. He added that there could be a better way to improve relations between the public and local law enforcement. [aside label='More Stories on San Mateo County' tag='san-mateo-county-sheriffs-office']According to a county spokesperson, the largest settlement of this kind — $4.5 million — was in response to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725727/multiple-deaths-after-taser-shocks-spur-call-for-change-in-san-mateo-county\">2018 case.\u003c/a> Deputy Joshua Wang tased and killed 36-year-old Chinedu Okobi for allegedly resisting arrest. Okobi died of a cardiac arrest. No deputies were charged for his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the county also \u003ca href=\"https://www.almanacnews.com/news/2022/12/05/san-mateo-county-pays-woodside-equestrian-750k-settlement-in-wrongful-arrest-lawsuit\">paid\u003c/a> $750,000 to Odette Riegman after deputies arrested her in 2019 following a car accident.

Corpus remembers that her training officer told her to conduct the interviews and investigation without showing any emotion. When her report was done, they went back on patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not once was I asked, ‘Are you OK? Do you want to talk to anybody?'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That service call, though, has stayed with Corpus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a Thanksgiving morning that goes by that I don’t think about that curly-haired little boy in overalls and think about how he would have been an adult by now,” she said. “And then I think about the mother. Now that I’m a mother, how has she navigated through life?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For first responders, Corpus says, it’s like being handed a backpack on the first day of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And every time you go to a critical incident, you put a rock in your backpack,” she said. “And if you don’t take those rocks out of your backpack, the backpack’s gonna get too heavy and you’re going to topple over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that interview with KQED, before the shooting rampage, Corpus spoke about creating a robust mental wellness program at the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department, and working to ensure that there is a culture in which officers know it’s OK to ask for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus put those plans into action last week. She said her first move on Monday was to get to the crime scenes herself to support her officers. Then she released the deputies who first responded so they could go home and be with their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those officers also met with one of her department’s mental health professionals, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I came to do] a debriefing with them and to openly talk about it,” Corpus said last week. “And I’ll be checking in with them on a daily basis to make sure that they’re OK and whatever support that they need, they’ll have it from me and the organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus isn’t alone in prioritizing what’s become known as “officer wellness.” The \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2017/10/03/it-s-time-we-talk-about-police-suicide\">increased focus on this issue\u003c/a> comes amid a mounting body of data showing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/06/10/high-suicide-rate-police-firefighters-mental-health/7470846001/\">law enforcement officers are more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty\u003c/a>.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"mass-shootings\"]In recent years, many departments across the country have created \u003ca href=\"https://www.baltimorepolice.org/about/officer-safety-wellness/director-officer-safety-and-wellness\">positions or offices within their own command structure\u003c/a> that are dedicated to supporting the mental health of their officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the agency that trains police officers began offering local departments \u003ca href=\"https://post.ca.gov/Wellness\">entire courses on wellness and resilience\u003c/a> just last year, after funding was approved by state leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That money comes years after the federal government highlighted the issue. Supporting officer safety and wellness was among the six main recommendations for improving policing that were highlighted in the final report of President Barack Obama’s 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/taskforce_finalreport.pdf\">Task Force on 21st Century Policing (PDF)\u003c/a> — an initiative convened largely in response to the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police killing of Michael Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the report, the task force spelled out why the mental health of law enforcement officers is “critical” to public safety at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An officer whose capabilities, judgment, and behavior are adversely affected by poor physical or psychological health not only may be of little use to the community he or she serves but also may be a danger to the community and to other officers,” the report stated, pointing to corroborating testimony from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.police1.com/columnists/laurence-miller/\">prominent police psychologist\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dr. Laurence Miller observed in his testimony that supervisors would not allow an officer to go on patrol with a deficiently maintained vehicle, an un-serviced duty weapon, or a malfunctioning radio — but pay little attention to the maintenance of what is all officers’ most valuable resource: their brains,” the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese acknowledged the connection between officer wellness and community safety during a news conference earlier this month, a day after his agency responded to the killing of 11 people at a local ballroom dance club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The officers that were here last night are just coming on duty right now — they are upstairs at briefing,” he said during a press conference. “When I get done talking to you here, I will go back upstairs and make sure my officers are mindful of what took place and that they’re in a good place tonight, because their wellness means a lot to me. And the only way they are going to protect this community is if they are mentally prepared to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Half Moon Bay, Lenny Mendonca, who owns Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, said he was heartened to hear of Corpus’s focus on mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It starts at the top — they have to be able to say, ‘This is OK. We want you to talk about it,’” said Mendonca, who served as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s chief economic and business adviser until leaving the job in 2020 \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11896784/the-politics-of-inflation-with-lenny-mendonca\">to focus on his own mental health challenges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad she’s talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But Corpus said it’s also given her a different perspective, even at the start of her career, when the advice was basically to suck it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was in our field-training program 20 years ago, I responded to a call for service of an unresponsive toddler on Thanksgiving morning,” she told KQED in an interview two weeks before the Jan. 23 shootings that left seven farmworkers dead and an eighth critically injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And as I arrived on scene, I saw the fire department pulling this little boy out of a pond, and they worked for about 45 minutes on resuscitating him, but they were unsuccessful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy had slipped outside while his mother was changing her newborn baby’s diaper. Corpus remembers that her training officer told her to conduct the interviews and investigation without showing any emotion. When her report was done, they went back on patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not once was I asked, ‘Are you OK? Do you want to talk to anybody?'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That service call, though, has stayed with Corpus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a Thanksgiving morning that goes by that I don’t think about that curly-haired little boy in overalls and think about how he would have been an adult by now,” she said. “And then I think about the mother. Now that I’m a mother, how has she navigated through life?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For first responders, Corpus says, it’s like being handed a backpack on the first day of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And every time you go to a critical incident, you put a rock in your backpack,” she said. “And if you don’t take those rocks out of your backpack, the backpack’s gonna get too heavy and you’re going to topple over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that interview with KQED, before the shooting rampage, Corpus spoke about creating a robust mental wellness program at the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department, and working to ensure that there is a culture in which officers know it’s OK to ask for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus put those plans into action last week. She said her first move on Monday was to get to the crime scenes herself to support her officers. Then she released the deputies who first responded so they could go home and be with their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those officers also met with one of her department’s mental health professionals, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I came to do] a debriefing with them and to openly talk about it,” Corpus said last week. “And I’ll be checking in with them on a daily basis to make sure that they’re OK and whatever support that they need, they’ll have it from me and the organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus isn’t alone in prioritizing what’s become known as “officer wellness.” The \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2017/10/03/it-s-time-we-talk-about-police-suicide\">increased focus on this issue\u003c/a> comes amid a mounting body of data showing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/06/10/high-suicide-rate-police-firefighters-mental-health/7470846001/\">law enforcement officers are more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Supporting officer safety and wellness was among the six main recommendations for improving policing that were highlighted in the final report of President Barack Obama’s 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/taskforce_finalreport.pdf\">Task Force on 21st Century Policing (PDF)\u003c/a> — an initiative convened largely in response to the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police killing of Michael Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the report, the task force spelled out why the mental health of law enforcement officers is “critical” to public safety at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An officer whose capabilities, judgment, and behavior are adversely affected by poor physical or psychological health not only may be of little use to the community he or she serves but also may be a danger to the community and to other officers,” the report stated, pointing to corroborating testimony from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.police1.com/columnists/laurence-miller/\">prominent police psychologist\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dr. Laurence Miller observed in his testimony that supervisors would not allow an officer to go on patrol with a deficiently maintained vehicle, an un-serviced duty weapon, or a malfunctioning radio — but pay little attention to the maintenance of what is all officers’ most valuable resource: their brains,” the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese acknowledged the connection between officer wellness and community safety during a news conference earlier this month, a day after his agency responded to the killing of 11 people at a local ballroom dance club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The officers that were here last night are just coming on duty right now — they are upstairs at briefing,” he said during a press conference. “When I get done talking to you here, I will go back upstairs and make sure my officers are mindful of what took place and that they’re in a good place tonight, because their wellness means a lot to me. And the only way they are going to protect this community is if they are mentally prepared to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Half Moon Bay, Lenny Mendonca, who owns Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, said he was heartened to hear of Corpus’s focus on mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It starts at the top — they have to be able to say, ‘This is OK. We want you to talk about it,’” said Mendonca, who served as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s chief economic and business adviser until leaving the job in 2020 \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11896784/the-politics-of-inflation-with-lenny-mendonca\">to focus on his own mental health challenges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad she’s talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
