Jonsen will be the 29th sheriff of Santa Clara County and the first new sheriff since 1998. Jonsen served as chief with Palo Alto Police Department starting in 2018, following five years as police chief in Menlo Park. 'No one is above the law': Sheriff found guilty of corruption, misconduct Smith, who announced in March she would not seek reelection, has faced a saga of scrutiny over a pay-to-play scheme -- including formal corruption charges from a grand jury.
But Bob Nunez, president of the San Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP, said the organization looked into the claims and found them unfounded. Because Jonsen won the November election, county officials said it makes sense to let him take the helm of the department early. "It is imperative that the transition to new leadership be as seamless as possible," President Ryan Elder told San Jose Spotlight. "We have already had a productive conversation with the new sheriff and pledge to work together to improve the safety of Santa Clara County residents."
