Investigation underway after I-Team finds Millbrae police chief allegedly commuting from Idaho

MILLBRAE, Calif. (KGO) — Mayor of Millbrae, Anders Fung tells the I-Team, “It’s just, you know, there’s a lot of information here that that is disturbing, right?” He’s calling for a thorough investigation into his police chief who lives in Idaho and slept in the police station during the workweek, until the ABC7 I-Team investigated.

This situation raises so many questions, and overnight we saw tense exchanges at the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors over this issue. Once again, the I-Team’s Dan Noyes gave Millbrae Police Chief Eamonn Allen a chance to respond in person and he remained silent.

“Yeah, and that needs to be proven,” Mayor Fung said. “I still need to be able to get the facts of those allegations. And, you know, I have not heard from the chief, so that’s important.”

EXCLUSIVE: Millbrae police chief facing questions for allegedly commuting to work from Idaho

Millbrae Police Chief Eamonn Allen is facing questions for allegedly living at the station during workdays — and commuting to Idaho when he’s off.

But it’s been five days since Noyes’s first report and Chief Allen was sitting there during the City Council’s public comment. He left right after, and the I-Team caught up with him at the police station’s front door.

“Eamonn, have you found a place to stay besides the police station?” Dan Noyes asked. “Do you have any comments about the report?”

Beyond the issue of using taxpayer facilities for personal benefit, this raises questions about a first responder with a 646-mile drive to work or 1.35-hour flight.

Richard Corriea, former SFPD Commander said this about the situation, “Not able to return to work on short notice in the event of an emergency is ridiculous.”

The City of Millbrae contracts with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services. Eamonn Allen acts as Millbrae police chief, but he’s also a sheriff’s captain. Tensions rose over this controversy at last night’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting.

Supervisor Noelia Corzo said, “I’m going to clarify something that I wish, frankly, our board president would have when he spoke to the press.”

Corzo criticized Board President David Canepa because he expressed concern about the issue in our original report, saying “If someone is living out of county or out of state, they have to pay for their own lodging, meaning San Mateo County is not a Holiday Inn.”

Corzo said, “I want to make sure the public knows that it is actually very common practice for most law enforcement agencies, including ours, to have sleeping quarters available to their staff.”

Canepa explained he has no issue having beds available to deputies who work a night shift and must appear in court the next morning, for example. But he has questions about sheriff’s employees with homes far out of state, who stay here on the county dime during the workweek.

Canepa told Corzo, “If you don’t believe looking into something like this is in good policy, I don’t know what to tell you.”

Supervisor Ray Mueller interjected, “All right. Okay. Order! Yes. Done, guys. Point of order, please.”

Board President David Canepa: So, I think I’ve made my point very clear.”
Supervisor Ray Mueller: “You guys have both made your points.”
Canepa: “Mr. Mueller. I’m chairing the meeting respectfully.”
Mueller: “Please, chair and then chair it now.”
Canepa: “Thank you. Respectfully. Thank you.”

In the board meeting, Supervisor Corzo did not mention the most important issue of all. How can these first responders quickly get to a catastrophic event – a mass shooting or an earthquake, for example – if they are at home out of state, hundreds of miles away? Investigations are moving forward on the city and county level.

Looking forward to another year of East Idaho Sports – East Idaho News

Note: As a bonus to our readers who have followed us into Year 2, the East Idaho Sports staff will post a special story on Sundays – Could be a column, opinion, feature, or just something fun and goofy. Hope you enjoy, and thanks again for coming along on this journey.

EASTERN IDAHO — Dec. 31 marked the end of the first full calendar year of East Idaho Sports. It has been a pleasure to bring our readers coverage of local youth, high school, college and semi-pro sports.

Over the last 12 months, we have covered state champions, national champions, junior hockey league champions, record-breaking performances and so much more. Those of you who have followed along since we launched in August 2024 have seen how we have expanded our coverage to include some interactive features like this Sunday Special series, Game Balls and the Photo of the Week voting.

We look forward to the completion of the winter sports seasons — including some Winter Olympics stories — spring sports, the summer sports schedule and returning next fall to start it all over again.

But we also hope to continue adding to our coverage, and shine spotlights on even more of the great athletes and sports programs in eastern Idaho.

In order to do that, we would like some help.

With just two full-time reporters and one freelance photographer we will regrettably miss things. And while we try to fill those gaps ourselves, we are always open to tips.

If there was a sporting event or sports story that deserved coverage it didn’t receive, please email us at sports@eastidahonews.com. If there is an upcoming event that should be spotlighted, please email us.

Also, our Photo of the Week stories will continue to be posted midday every Monday. If you have photos from a local sporting event that you want to enter in the running, email those to us by Sunday morning. For those who follow the voting — on our public Facebook group East Idaho News – Sports — a reader-contributed photo was recently selected our Photo of the YEAR, and we would love to continue adding those on the weekly ballot.

This photo of West Jefferson’s Justus Burtenshaw during the first round of the state tournament, taken by reader Julie Hall, was selected out East Idaho Sports Photo of the Year.

Finally, we recently added a regular feature we are calling the “Whip-around”: A quick rundown of local high school sports action. In order to expand these stories to include more teams, we would love for coaches, players or parents to send us photos of game scorebooks. If you are linked to a local team and would like your team to be added to these stories, please email us, and we can let you know how to do so.

It has been a pleasure to highlight the many local athletes for their successes and hard work, and we look forward to another year of precisely that.

We will see you at a field, court, course, pool, etc., near you in 2026.
