**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Relieved from Duty in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from their duties following formal complaints since the state police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7th. According to Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, two formal complaints have been lodged: one with the State Attorney General’s Office and the other with the internal oversight agency of the security department.
“We have received complaints about the actions of the state police,” said Carrillo Rodríguez. “So far, there are two official cases under investigation.” He added that while allegations have surfaced on social media, no additional formal reports have been recorded.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
The officers in question have been reassigned not due to conclusive evidence but for their safety while an investigation is underway. Carrillo Rodríguez clarified, “There is no direct evidence linking them to the accusations at this time.”
Since taking over security on March 7th, the State Police have replaced 264 municipal officers who are currently undergoing thorough vetting, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Even their firearms are being meticulously inspected.
The temporary removal of these officers raises hope for continued accountability and reform within Rosarito’s police force, potentially marking the beginning of a necessary and long-awaited clean-up.
