A group of roughly 60 people Monday tuned into a virtual meeting with law enforcement officials taking questions about policies and police reform in San Mateo County.
The roundtable of panelists included San Mateo County Supervisor Don Horsley, District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe, Half Moon Bay City Councilman Joaquin Jimenez, Sheriff Carlos Bolanos and Capt. Saul Lopez of San Mateo County Sheriffâs Office, and representatives from the offices of state Sen. Josh Becker and Assemblymember Marc Berman.
The 90-minute forum was hosted by La Honda Indivisible, a local chapter of the national political and advocacy group. Co-host Lynnette Vega said the group formed the eventâs questions based on a questionnaire and a template from U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, who sought to gauge the response to reforms of law enforcement procedures.

Couches, mattresses, car seats and even a quarter of the body of a car were among the piles and piles of trash that lay untouched on a scenic corridor of state Highway 35 near Highway 92.
Two Kings Mountain residents decided the area deserved a cleanup.
Friends and neighbors Aiden Zahedi, 10, and Niamh Dawes, 14, arrived at the location on Saturday, Dec. 19, with dumpsters, trash grabbers, trailers, masks and work gloves in hand to scavenge 18 cubic yards of trash, said Niamh. The two- to three-hour cleanup drew 32 community members.
