The director may be removed by the secretary in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 29-2-11 NMSA 1978 for removal of members of the New Mexico state police holding permanent commissions. In the case of removal proceedings for the director under that section, "commission", as used in Subsections C and D of Section 29-2-11 NMSA 1978, shall be construed to mean the New Mexico law enforcement standards and training council.

The 2022 amendment, effective July 1, 2023, provided that the director of the New Mexico law enforcement academy may be removed by the secretary of public safety and removed that authority from the former law enforcement academy board, and clarified that, in the case of removal proceedings under Section 29-2-11 NMSA 1978, "commission" shall be construed to mean the New Mexico law enforcement standards and training council; and after "The director may be removed", deleted "board" and added "secretary", and after "New Mexico law enforcement", deleted "academy board" and added "standards and training council".
