"San Mateo County officials are questioning whether Millbrae Police Chief Eamonn Allen is living inside the city's police station during the week and regularly commuting home to Idaho, according to a report from ABC 7. Six other sergeants also reportedly live somewhere other than California. San Mateo County Board President David Canepa this week called for an investigation into Allen, who is allegedly living in Idaho while sleeping during the workweek in the Millbrae bureau, ABC7 reported Friday."
"The TV station shared photos, reportedly from a fire inspector, showing illegally constructed living quarters with beds. A note from the inspector, who reportedly visited the station on Tuesday, asks the police station to please stop using rooms for sleeping. A photo also appeared to show a half-empty half-gallon bottle of liquor sitting on a shelf of one of the suspected living quarters."
"In order to have living quarters in the station, the police department would have to get certain permits, modify the construction of the rooms and pass inspection, ABC 7 reported. The fire inspector reportedly could not access one of the living quarters because it was locked with an in use sign outside the door, according to ABC 7. Millbrae contracts with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office for its police services."
San Mateo County officials are investigating allegations that Millbrae Police Chief Eamonn Allen lives in the city's police station during weekdays while commuting to Idaho on weekends. Six other sergeants reportedly reside outside California. Photographs and a fire inspector's note reportedly show improvised, allegedly illegal sleeping quarters with beds and a half-gallon bottle of liquor on a shelf. A fire inspector asked that the station stop using rooms for sleeping and was reportedly unable to access one locked room marked "in use." The department would need permits, construction modifications, and inspections to legally maintain living quarters. Allen was appointed by former Sheriff Christina Corpus, who supervisors removed after a judge found conflict-of-interest violations and retaliation against deputies.
