The governor of Florida apparently can. The governor removed Sheriff Scott Israel from the Broward County Sheriffs Office for his mishandling of the Parkland High School shooting incident
Thanks for providing an example - interesting case!
Apparently, Israel was *suspended* by De Santis. As an elected official, sheriffs cannot be removed by a gov, an executive,... but can be removed by the legislature - the state senate.
The state senate in a special session removed Israel, later in the year after his suspension.
Interesting too, in that I’ve seen much in the way of Parkland being a false flag op.
