**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In recent developments, four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily relieved of their duties due to formal complaints. The State Police has been responsible for local security since March 7th, leading to these recent disciplinary actions following accusations from residents.
Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, stated that one complaint was submitted to the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was directed to the security department’s Internal Control Body. “We have received reports concerning the conduct of the state police. Two formal cases are currently under investigation,” Carrillo Rodríguez confirmed.
Addressing rumors circulating on social media, Carrillo Rodríguez noted that while they are being taken seriously, no further formal reports have emerged.
**Officers Reassigned, Pending Investigation**
Discussing the current status of the four officers, Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that they have been reassigned for their safety while the Internal Control Body investigates further. “While no definitive evidence has linked the officers to any wrongdoing, they have been displaced as a precaution,” he explained.
Since assuming control of Rosarito’s security, the State Police has replaced 264 municipal officers. These municipal officers are undergoing extensive screenings, including psychological evaluations, medical checks, toxicology tests, and social background examinations. Their firearms are also being scrutinized for serial numbers and codes to ensure compliance.
These actions reflect a growing trend of accountability within Rosarito’s security forces and could signal the beginning of comprehensive reform within the ranks.
