Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos
San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos told the City of San Carlos Leaders “He could not recall an issue justifying spending money on an oversight system.”
Nobody is asking for a System. Carlos G. Bolanos has a history of misleading the public.
Here is just a short list of ISSUES that come to mind.
Sandra Harmon May 05, 2020 Killed by Sheriff Deputies, Deputy Dominguez firing 5 shots at Unarmed with Hands Up above her head. He Bolanos claims she fired her 2 shot shotgun at Dominguez while he was taking cover behind his patrol car which was parked sideways. Not a mark or scratch on the patrol car of the Deputy. He claims Deputy Dominguez did not turn on his Body Worn Camera and that is why there is NO EVIDENCE provided to prove Sandra Harmon fired ANY shots.
At the 8:02-8:08 mark you will see Sandra Harmon Unarmed with hands above her head and you will hear 5 shots being fired at her.

February 10, 2020 SAL Executive Director Barbara Bonilla was escorted out of her office and is being investigated for embezzlement. She was Sheriff Bolanos’s Campaign Manager in the 2018 election. She has resigned from the Sheriff’s office since Why? She she hasn’t been charged with any crime. She has been removed from State and National PAL Boards.
September 14, 2019 Redwood City Police arrested SMCSO Sergeant Luis Aquino for DUI and refusing to take both blood and breath test. Sheriff Bolanos and David Silberman refused to provide his Booking photo. San Carlos: An additional $50,000 was also approved for DUI services.
October 3, 2018 Chinedu V. Okobi Homicide in Custody just like George Floyd, No 911 Call, just a Moorehouse Graduate and father walking on the sidewalk in the middle of the day, No crime committed before Deputy Wang got attracted to him a large Black Man he was dead minutes later.
December 31, 2018 San Mateo County Deputy Heather Diaz Coroner “I have determined the manner of Death to be Homicide.”
HOMICIDE PROTOCOL* 36 year old male involved in a physical altercation with San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies. March 1, 2019 District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe confirmed it was a Homicide at the very end of his Press Conference where he announced no criminal charges would be filed. KQED, CBS5, and San Mateo County News.com all reported Homicide.
One ISSUE was the many False Statements provided to the Public by Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos per his News Releases dated October 3, 2018 and March 1, 2019.
June 3, 2014 Yanira Serrano killed by Deputy within 20 seconds of getting out of his patrol car. It was a non emergency 911 call for medical assistance.
2014 Lets not forget what Carlos G. Bolanos and many others have done to destroy former Sherif Deputy Juan P. Lopez since he filed to run for Sheriff of San Mateo County. Smuggling a Cellphone and Drugs to a gang member in Jail. Sure he did, 100% False Charges.

Regarding Citizen Oversight and or an Audit of his work
Sheriff Bolanos said he was open to but felt removed accountability from leaders of organizations. I have no idea what that means
“I believe they’re dysfunctional primarily because you have people who are not experts in certain fields making determination on what is appropriate or not,”
“With me as an elected official the voters have the greatest civilian oversight and can replace me with someone else.”
How would the voters ever know what he is doing or how he is doing it without an Audit.
You can’t possibly manage what you don’t measure.
San Mateo County News 
Have you ever looked up Sgt. Frank Wilkins (Redwood City PD) vs City of Redwood City and Chief Carlos Bolanos on the internet. Wilkins won a lot of money and there was a massive amount of dishonesty on the city side.
Thank You rzh, I have now.
Very similar behavior that he did to former San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan Pablo Lopez. He conspired with County Counsel and the District Attorney’s Office to Harm Deputy Lopez and those close to him. Specifically District Attorney Number 0502694 DMV Docket Number S395377 Filed 11/13/2014 Count 1 PC182(A)-FEL-Conspire to Commit a Crime Date 04/01/2013 Count 1 PC186(B)(1)- Enhanced-Gang Member Commit Crime. Count 2 PC182(A)(5)-FEL-Conspire to Obstruct Justice, Count 2 PC186.22(B)(1)-Enhanced-Gang Member Commit Crime.
Deputy Lopez was Charged with Smuggling a Cellphone and Drugs to a Hells Angel Gang member in Maguire Jail where he worked.
Carlos G. Bolanos, Steve Wagstaffe and many others knew these were false charges and there was ZERO Evidence to support these charges. On December 16, 2015 These charges were quietly dismissed none of SMC reporters or citizens Questioned/Audited how these charges got filed in the first place. For two years and seven months Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez was branded a Dirty Cop by Carlos G. Bolanos and Steve Wagstaffe, they both knew that was a Lie.
