The Broward County Sheriff’s office has been harshly criticized both for its response to the Parkland shooting and its handling of tips regarding to shooter Nikolas Cruz during the year leading up to the shooting.
Just last week, Senate Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley harshly criticized Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel for publicly touting gun control on national television but declining an invitation to testify before Congress in a hearing on the shooting.
