**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
Four state police officers have been temporarily removed from their duties in Rosarito following the emergence of two formal complaints since the state police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7th. Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, confirmed one of the complaints has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was directed to the Internal Control Body of the department.
“We have received reports about the conduct of the state police. So far, two formal complaints have been filed, and we are actively investigating these matters,” explained Carrillo Rodríguez. He also mentioned that while there are various allegations circulating on social media, no additional complaints have formally been filed.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
Regarding the status of the officers involved, Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that they have been reassigned for precautionary reasons while a thorough investigation is conducted by the Internal Control Body. “There is currently no concrete evidence linking the officers to the allegations, but they have been reassigned for the investigation period,” he stated.
Since taking over security in Rosarito on March 7th, the State Police have replaced 264 municipal officers who are now undergoing extensive vetting procedures, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, alongside social background checks and polygraph exams. Even their firearms are being thoroughly examined for serial numbers and codes.
Holding officers accountable is not a routine occurrence, but it reflects a crucial step toward transparency and integrity in Rosarito’s security forces. This action is part of a broader initiative to ensure that the local police adhere to high standards of conduct and effectiveness.
