**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Reassigned in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily reassigned amidst two formal complaints that have arisen since the state police assumed control over local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, has announced formal submissions to the State Attorney General’s Office and the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“We’ve received complaints concerning the conduct of state police. Presently, two formal cases are under investigation,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez. Although no new formal reports have been filed, there are additional allegations being circulated on social media that are currently under review.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that the four officers have been reassigned from their original positions for safety reasons while an investigation is conducted by the Internal Control Body. “There is currently no concrete evidence linking these officers to the allegations, but they have been temporarily moved to ensure a fair investigation,” he elaborated.
Since March 7th, the State Police took over security duties in Rosarito, assuming roles previously filled by 264 municipal officers. These municipal officers are undergoing detailed screening processes including psychological, medical, toxicology evaluations, and polygraph tests. Their firearms are also being checked for serial numbers and codes.
This move towards accountability within the police force could mark the beginning of essential reforms aimed at cleaning up Rosarito’s security operations.
