**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Temporarily Relieved of Duty Amid Complaints**
In Rosarito, four State Police officers have been temporarily relieved from their duties following two formal complaints received since the State Police assumed control of local security on March 7th. Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, confirmed that one complaint has been filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another is being reviewed by the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez reported that while two formal complaints are under investigation, numerous allegations have surfaced on social media, though no additional formal reports have been lodged.
### Officers Reassigned as Investigation Proceeds
Carrillo RodrÃguez stated that the officers have been reassigned for precautionary safety reasons. He emphasized, “There is no evidence linking them to the accusations yet, but they have been relocated while the investigation is ongoing.”
The State Police took over Rosarito’s security operations on March 7th, replacing 264 municipal officers who are currently undergoing rigorous evaluations including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also under inspection for serial numbers and codes.
The situation in Rosarito might be the beginning of a broader initiative to ensure accountability and transparency within the local security forces. This incident highlights the importance of addressing and investigating complaints to maintain public trust and integrity in law enforcement.
