A Governor can fire a Sheriff
It really depends. A governor may be able to fire your sheriff, depending on how your State’s constitution and/or laws is/are worded. Generally speaking, county sheriff is an elected position at the county level that is independent of the governor’s authority at the state level.
We're in FL homie, sheriff is an elected position, it is independent of governors authority.
Then what was the talk of firing Sheriff israel after Parkland/
From what I understand a sheriff can be removed from the office for malfeasance by being charged with a felony or theft. That's how he was removed. I believe it's the same for other elected officials, please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to spread misinfo.
