**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In a recent development in Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily suspended from their duties following two formal complaints filed after the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, stated that one complaint has been presented to the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other has been lodged with the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We have received allegations against the state police. So far, there are two official complaints, and these are currently under investigation,” Carrillo RodrÃguez noted.
There have been additional claims circulating through social media platforms, which are also under scrutiny, although no further formal complaints have been made at this time.
**Officers Under Investigation**
Concerning the situation of the four officers, Carrillo RodrÃguez explained that they have been reassigned for safety reasons while undergoing scrutiny by the Internal Control Body. “There is no concrete evidence linking them to the allegations, but their reassignment is a precautionary measure as we investigate,” he clarified.
Since March 7th, the state police have taken over security responsibilities in Rosarito, substituting the 264 municipal officers presently subjected to a vetting process, including psychological, medical, and toxicology evaluations, along with social background checks and polygraph tests. The officers’ firearms are also being reviewed for serial number authenticity and compliance.
This new development highlights a significant move towards accountability within the police force, marking a potential turning point in cleaning up Rosarito’s security operations.
