San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies claim a toxic work culture.
Carlos Tapia, president of the San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, speaks at a press conference, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024, in Redwood City, Calif., discussing the no-confidence vote taken by his membership after labor practice grievances were filed against Sheriff Christina Corpus’ chief of staff.
Union leaders lay most of the problems at the feet of one man: Corpus’ chief of staff, Victor Aenlle. They’ve accused him of repeatedly berating and demeaning their members and claim he’s overstepped his civilian role by making decisions about the duties of sworn personnel. Attempts to reach Aenlle for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, the County Board of Supervisors announced last week it had authorized an independent investigation into “multiple personnel allegations” it’s received about the Sheriff’s Office. County officials have declined to share details about the investigation. In her statement, Corpus touted new accountability and transparency measures she’s enacted since taking office while claiming that “some of our efforts are being met with resistance.”
The ongoing lawsuit claims Aenlle was a “close friend” of Corpus who first was an adviser to her campaign before being named to her transition team as she prepared to take office. Once sworn in, Corpus hired Aenlle and promoted him to the newly created position of “executive director of administration,” according to the lawsuit.
