On the day that Florida’s new governor was sworn into office, Broward County’s top law enforcement officer may be heading out the door.
CBS4 News has learned that Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has been telling his staff that he expects to be removed from office in the coming days.
Additionally, CBS4 has confirmed that former Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti has been contacted by representatives of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis about stepping in if Israel is removed.
There is no guarantee that Lamberti would be chosen for the role. He is one of several names under consideration.
DeSantis, who was sworn into office as Florida’s new governor earlier in the day, has not made any kind of formal announcement on the status of Israel’s job.
Israel is a two-term sheriff that has faced stark criticism over the way BSO handled the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last February.
