**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Reassigned Amid Ongoing Investigations**
In a recent turn of events, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily reassigned in Rosarito following the filing of two formal complaints since the state police assumed control over local security operations on March 7.
The Secretary of Citizen Security in Baja California, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, confirmed that the complaints have been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office and the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We’ve received allegations against certain state police members, and two formal complaints are being reviewed,” stated Carrillo RodrÃguez. He noted that while social media is abuzz with accusations, no further formal complaints have been submitted.
**Officers Temporarily Relocated for Safety**
Carrillo RodrÃguez emphasized that the officers in question have been relocated purely for safety measures while investigations by the Internal Control Body are underway. “Currently, there is no concrete evidence linking the officers to any wrongdoing, so they have been reassigned as we investigate further,” he explained.
Since the State Police took charge of security in Rosarito, a significant overhaul is underway. The 264 municipal officers previously in charge are now undergoing rigorous psychological, medical, and toxicology assessments, as well as social background checks and polygraph examinations. Additionally, their firearms are also being meticulously inspected for verification purposes.
This incident underscores the ongoing accountability within security forces and marks a potentially significant move towards transparency and integrity within Rosarito’s law enforcement.
