‘Internal review’ to probe claims of timecard fraud against San Mateo Co. deputies’ leader

After a district attorney’s announcement Monday that a San Mateo County sheriff’s deputy accused of timecard fraud wouldn’t be charged, Sheriff Christina Corpus said that an “internal review” of the matter would take place.

“While the criminal investigation has concluded, a separate internal review will take place, which is standard protocol when the arrest involves an employee,” Corpus said in a statement Monday afternoon. “The internal review will be conducted by an independent third-party investigator to ensure it is a fair process.”
