**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily suspended in Rosarito following the filing of two formal complaints since the state police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, reported that one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other reached the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“We have received complaints concerning the state police, with two official cases currently under investigation,” Carrillo Rodríguez confirmed. He addressed various allegations spreading on social media, clarifying that they are under review, although no further formal complaints have been made.
**Reassignment of Officers Under Investigation**
Regarding the status of the four police officers, Carrillo Rodríguez explained that they have been reassigned for their safety while the investigation is underway. “There’s no concrete evidence linking them to any wrongdoing yet, but they have been moved to ensure a fair investigation,” he stated.
Since the state police took over security operations in Rosarito, replacing 264 municipal officers, these officers have been undergoing psychological, medical, and toxicology evaluations, along with social background checks and polygraph tests, as part of a thorough vetting process. Even their firearms are under scrutiny for serial number and code verification.
While accountability in law enforcement is not always prevalent, this development could signal the beginning of necessary reforms within Rosarito’s security forces.
