**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Temporarily Removed Amid Complaints**
In a recent development in Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily relieved of their duties. This decision follows two formal complaints filed since the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, stated that one of the complaints was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office and the other with the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez highlighted the importance of investigating the complaints thoroughly. “We’ve had individuals come forward with concerns about the state police. Currently, we are looking into two formal cases,” he explained. He also noted that while allegations have surfaced on social media, no further formal reports have been submitted.
**Temporary Reassignment During Investigation**
Addressing the situation of the four officers in question, Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified that they have been reassigned for safety reasons while the Internal Control Body conducts its investigation. “At this point, there is no evidence linking them directly to the accusations, but they have been moved to a different role during the investigation process,” he clarified.
Since March 7th, the State Police took over the responsibility of maintaining security in Rosarito. Consequently, 264 municipal officers are currently undergoing a comprehensive vetting process, which includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, social background checks, and polygraph exams. Even their firearms are under inspection for verification of serial numbers and other identifiers.
The temporary removal of these officers highlights the ongoing efforts to ensure accountability in Rosarito’s security forces, potentially signaling the beginning of necessary reforms.
