The former Palo Alto police chief and L.A. sheriff’s commander led since Election Day and holds on with a 1.5-point edge.

In light of all that, the Board of Supervisors is considering bypassing the typical process of taking applications and appointing an interim officeholder — Undersheriff Ken Binder is currently acting sheriff — and. The board deferred the matter to its Dec. 6 meeting, two days before the registrar’s deadline to certify the election results.

Jensen positioned himself as a longtime critic of Smith with the institutional know-how to rapidly install reforms. He received the majority of regional and union law-enforcement support, including the two South Bay deputy unions that gave over $300,000 to a political action committee backing him. All told, Jensen’s campaign donors and the PAC support collected more than $700,000, dwarfing Jonsen’s campaign by seven times.
