As Corriea gained investigative and patrol experience, he became interested in law and entered Golden Gate University’s Law School. Upon earning his J.D., he was admitted to the State Bar in 1988 and served as a legal advisor to the Chief of Police. Corriea rose to inspector, Lieutenant and Captain; he still made time to graduate from the State’s Command College for police executives. After an assignment as Airport Bureau’s Police Operations Division's Commanding Officer, he was named to head SFPD’s Training Division. During his tenure there, he was able to revamp the P.O.S.T Basic Course curriculum and eliminate redundancies in the program. He was then selected to Captain his home-base Richmond Station, where he championed improved communications with the community including regular email updates and initiating the first SFPD Station Twitter feed. Following his 2011 promotion to Commander, he was named to head police operations at S.F. International Airport in June 2012. He also heads the Department’s Crisis Intervention Team. Corriea has received two SFPD Medals of Valor and was named S.F. Bay Area Lions Clubs’ Police Officer of the Year in 1988. Following his J.D., he returned to GGU to earn his MBA. He co-founded the S.F. Youth Court and is a member of the Univ. of San Francisco’s International Institute of Criminal Justice Leadership Advisory Board. He also serves as Vice-president of the Planning Association for the Richmond and is on the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Neighborhood Theatre Foundation.
While developing his private psychiatry practice and Stanford University Medical Center clinical faculty, Dr. Seid served with several regional and county Boards and Commissions in Santa Clara County and saw a great unfulfilled need for organizations for underserved groups, including the Asian community in the South Bay, as well as the need for successful Asians to give back to their communities. He founded or co-founded dozens of service agencies and community associations starting with Pathway Society in San Jose, one of the nation’s oldest drug treatment facilities, followed by Asian Americans for Community Involvement of Santa Clara County; both are still vital institutions. Seid earned his M.D. at the Univ. of Southern California, a post-doctoral M.A. at Stanford, and multiple certifications. He was named a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1970. In addition to his teaching at Stanford, he was on the Board of Regents of the Univ. of Santa Clara and a member of its Law School Board. He was the first Asian American to serve on the State Board of Education and on the California State Mental Health Council. He has been recognized for his leadership by dozens of organizations and governmental bodies, including a U.S. House of Representatives Resolution in 1978, and has been a featured speaker at many local and national forums and symposia. He has also been a member of the American Leadership Forum, a select group of Silicon Valley corporate and civic leaders, since 1992.
