**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Over Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily suspended from duty in Rosarito after two formal complaints were lodged. The move comes as the state police have assumed control of local security operations since March 7th.
Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, revealed that one complaint has been filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We have received two formal complaints about the state police, which are currently under investigation,” Carrillo Rodríguez stated.
He added that while there have been allegations circulating on social media, no further formal reports have been submitted at this time.
**No Evidence Yet, Officers Reassigned**
Regarding the status of the four officers, Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that they have been reassigned for safety reasons amid investigations carried out by the Internal Control Body. “Currently, there is no evidence linking them to the accusations, but they have been relocated as a precaution during the investigation,” he explained.
Since the state’s take over of security operations on March 7th, the local municipal police force, consisting of 264 officers, is required to undergo a comprehensive vetting process, which includes psychological, medical, toxicology tests, social background checks, and polygraph exams. Firearms in possession are also undergoing serial number and code verifications.
While it’s not every day that law enforcement faces accountability, incidents like these can mark significant strides towards improving the integrity of Rosarito’s security forces. Optimistically, this could be the start of necessary reforms within the community’s policing systems.
