Two get promoted in sheriff's office

Munks elevates Wyss, Barbarini

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office has announced the promotion of two of its employees.

Sheriff Greg Munks has elevated Lt. Mark Wyss to captain, and Sgt. Ed Barbarini is being promoted to lieutenant, the office announced Tuesday.

Wyss had been the unit commander of the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force, and will now be responsible for the Sheriff's Support Services Division.

Barbarini will assume leadership of one of the shifts at the Maguire Correctional Facility.

Wyss grew up in the San Jose area and began his law enforcement career in 1984, serving in many of the sheriff's divisions including patrol, corrections and the narcotics task force.

Barbarini grew up in the Burlingame area, and started working for the sheriff's office in 1994, most recently as an acting lieutenant in transportation.
