A significant dispute arises in San Mateo County regarding whether Victor Aenlle, the sheriff’s former chief of staff, can return to his post at the sheriff’s office. Sheriff Christina Corpus insists that Aenlle, a 17-year reserve deputy, is permitted to help process concealed carry weapon applications despite County Manager Mike Callagy’s prohibition barring him from areas where the public is restricted.
