**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
Recently, four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two official complaints lodged since the state police assumed control over local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, stated that one complaint was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo Rodríguez elaborated, “We’ve had individuals come forward with complaints about the state police. Currently, there are two formal cases, and we are conducting investigations.” He also addressed rumors circulating on social media, noting that while they are being considered, no additional formal reports have been made.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
Carrillo Rodríguez further clarified that the officers have been relocated for their safety while the Internal Control Body carries out its investigation. “There is no concrete evidence linking them to the accusations yet, but they have been reassigned during this process,” he explained.
Since the state police took charge on March 7th, they have replaced 264 municipal officers who are presently undergoing a thorough vetting process, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, alongside social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being inspected for serial numbers and codes.
This action marks a significant step in accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, potentially heralding the start of necessary reforms in local policing practices.
