**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four state police officers in Rosarito have been temporarily suspended after two formal complaints were filed against them since the state police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7th. These developments were confirmed by Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security. One complaint has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another has been submitted to the Internal Control Body within the security department.
Carrillo Rodríguez commented on the situation, saying, “Complaints about the state police have been made by citizens. We currently have two official cases that are under investigation.” He also noted that there have been various accusations on social media, which are currently being reviewed, yet no additional formal complaints have been filed.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
Speaking about the situation of the four officers, Carrillo Rodríguez stated that they have been reassigned for security reasons while the investigation by the Internal Control Body is underway. “There is no evidence at this moment linking the officers to the accusations, but they have been moved to ensure a thorough investigation,” he clarified.
Since taking over security duties in Rosarito, the state police have replaced 264 municipal officers who are now undergoing a thorough vetting process. This process includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, alongside social background checks and polygraph exams. Even the serial numbers and codes of their firearms are being inspected as part of this procedure.
This incident underscores the importance of accountability within the law enforcement agencies in Rosarito, offering hope for potential reforms in local security practices.
