**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from their duties in Rosarito after two formal complaints were lodged since the State Police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7th. According to Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, one complaint has been filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, and another has been submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“We’ve received complaints regarding state police actions. Currently, two formal cases are under investigation,” said Carrillo Rodríguez. He also addressed social media allegations, indicating they are being reviewed, although no formal reports have subsequently been filed on these matters.
**Officers Reassigned, Pending Investigation**
Carrillo Rodríguez emphasized that although there is no evidence implicating the officers at this time, they have been reassigned for their safety while the Internal Control Body continues its investigation.
The State Police have managed security in Rosarito since March 7th, taking over from 264 municipal officers who are undergoing various checks, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams as part of a vetting process. Their firearms are also being inspected for serial numbers and codes.
The removal of these officers underscores a rare yet significant move towards accountability within the force. This may mark the beginning of a broader effort to enhance transparency and trust in Rosarito’s law enforcement.
