**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Reassigned in Rosarito After Complaints**

March 28, 2025 – In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily transferred from their duties following the submission of two formal complaints since their department took over local security on March 7th. Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, disclosed that these complaints were directed to the State Attorney General’s Office and the Internal Control Body of the security department.

Carrillo Rodríguez mentioned, “We have received formal complaints from the public about the state police, prompting an investigation into these cases.” Moreover, he acknowledged additional allegations surfacing on social media, stating they are under review, yet no further formal reports have been lodged.

While these officers have not been conclusively linked to any wrongdoing, they have been reassigned during the investigation by the Internal Control Body for their safety. “We are taking precautionary measures by reallocating these officers as our investigation proceeds,” Carrillo Rodríguez elaborated.

The state’s intervention replaced Rosarito’s 264 municipal officers, who are currently undergoing rigorous evaluations, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, alongside comprehensive social background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, an inspection of their firearms’ serial numbers and codes is in process.

This step seems to mark the onset of necessary transparency and reform within Rosarito’s security forces, setting a precedent for holding officers accountable when warranted.
