The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday selected Gilroy Interim Police Chief Ken Binder as sheriff following the dismissal of former Sheriff Christina Corpus.

Binder has spent the majority of his law enforcement career with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, and has also worked as police chief in Cupertino, Los Altos Hills and Saratoga.
