**Four State Police Officers Suspended in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily suspended from duty following two formal complaints that have arisen since the state police took control of local security operations on March 7th. According to Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, one of these complaints was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, and another was directed to the agency’s Internal Control Body.
Carrillo Rodríguez stated, “We’ve received complaints about the state police. Currently, there are two formal cases under investigation.” He also noted that while there are allegations surfacing on social media, no additional formal reports have been filed as of yet.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
The four officers have been reassigned for safety reasons while the Internal Control Body carries out its investigation. Carrillo Rodríguez emphasized that no evidence currently links the officers to the allegations against them, but they will remain reassigned during the inquiry.
Since assuming responsibility for security on March 7th, the state police have replaced the city’s 264 municipal officers, who are undergoing extensive psychological, medical, and toxicology evaluations, along with background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being examined for serial numbers and codes as part of this vetting process. This event may mark a significant step towards accountability within the security forces in Rosarito.
