**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In a recent development in Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily removed from duty following two formal complaints since the state police took over local security responsibilities on March 7. According to Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, the Baja California Secretary of Citizen Security, one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office and another was directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez highlighted that there have been reports from citizens concerning the conduct of the state police, and while there are only two formal complaints so far, further investigations are underway. He also addressed rumors on social media, stating that they are being examined, although no additional formal reports have been filed at this time.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
Regarding the officers in question, Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified that they have been reassigned from their current duties as a precautionary measure during the investigation by the Internal Control Body. “There is no evidence currently linking them to the accusations, but they have been relocated to ensure the integrity of the investigation,” he explained.
The shift in security responsibility to the state police accompanies the transition period in which 264 municipal police officers are undergoing rigorous evaluations including psychological, medical, and toxicology testing, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Even the firearms of these officers are being reviewed thoroughly to ensure compliance with serial number and code standards.
The removal of officers under suspicion demonstrates a commitment to transparency and accountability within the security forces in Rosarito, with hopes for an overhaul that will reinforce public trust.
