**State Police Officers Temporarily Reassigned in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from their duties in Rosarito after two formal complaints arose since they assumed local security responsibilities on March 7th. Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, announced that one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office and another with the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“We’ve had reports concerning the actions of the state police. Currently, two formal complaints are under investigation,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez. He also addressed circulating allegations on social media, confirming investigations are underway, despite no further formal reports being filed.
**Officers Reassigned Due to Investigation**
Regarding the officers in question, Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that their reassignment is a precautionary measure while the Internal Control Body investigates. “At this point, there’s no evidence connecting them to the allegations, but we’ve reassigned them to ensure a thorough investigation,” he emphasized.
The State Police took over security responsibilities in Rosarito on March 7th, replacing 264 municipal officers undergoing rigorous evaluations, which include psychological, medical, toxicology tests, along with social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also under inspection.
This move signals a commitment to accountability within the Rosarito security forces, marking a potential step towards improving the integrity and performance of law enforcement personnel.
