best to start thinking about who to support to replace her. Most races are won in the June primary, so that's just over 22 months from now. Deadline for contenders to enter race is ~16 months from now. They'll need at least a half a year before that to round up endorsements from local and state politicos and CLEOs and organizations. You're now looking at a mere 10 months from now. Time flies!

Grand jury proceedings are held in secret, but NBC Bay Area has confirmed the assistant presiding judge in Santa Clara County empaneled a criminal grand jury at the beginning of July, and sources say the sheriff’s case began Monday.

It's unclear if the sheriff herself is part of the probe, or just some of her top brass and members of her advisory board.
In the end, 12 of the 19 grand jurors have to agree for anyone to be charged.
“All the evidence that comes in is controlled by the prosecutor, and they bring evidence to present to the grand jury,” said Leanos, adding that there was no defense attorney in the courtroom and no judge. So there’s no way to cross examine a witness.
“They kinda get one side of the story,” he said. “Usually means there’ll be an indictment in criminal grand jury investigations.”
