Our Goal
Establishment of effective civilian oversight of the Sheriff’s Office and creation of an Inspector General in San Mateo County
We believe the conduct and administration of our law enforcement should reflect the shared values of our community.

It reduces the risk of costly liability to the county and its taxpayers by identifying and addressing issues and preventing problems.
