**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Relieved of Duties in Rosarito After Complaints**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily taken off duty following two formal complaints since the state police took control of local security operations on March 7th. The Baja California Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, reported that one complaint was directed to the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was lodged with the Internal Control Body within the security department.
“We have received complaints from citizens regarding the state police. At present, there are two formal cases under investigation,” Carrillo Rodríguez stated, addressing the situation. He also mentioned that allegations circulating on social media are being reviewed, although no further formal reports have been made.
**Officers Reassignment Pending Investigation**
Regarding the four officers’ status, Carrillo Rodríguez clarified they have been reassigned for safety reasons during the ongoing investigation by the Internal Control Body. “There is no concrete evidence against them at this point, but they have been relocated while we examine the claims,” he explained.
Since assuming the responsibility for Rosarito’s security on March 7th, the State Police replaced 264 municipal officers undergoing a series of evaluations. These assessments include psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. The officers’ firearms are also being audited to verify their serial numbers and codes.
Accountability in public security forces is not commonplace, but incidents like this raise hopes for a transparent and just clean-up in Rosarito’s law enforcement landscape.
