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

In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily reassigned after two formal complaints were lodged since the state police assumed control over local security on March 7th. Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security in Baja California, confirmed that one complaint is being handled by the State Attorney General’s Office, and the other is under scrutiny by the Internal Control Body of the security department.

Carrillo Rodríguez stated, “We have received formal complaints about the state police, and currently, two cases are under investigation.” He noted that additional allegations appearing on social media are being examined, though no further formal complaints have been filed.

**Officers Reassigned: Ongoing Investigation Without Concrete Evidence**

Carrillo Rodríguez stressed that the officers have not been directly linked to the accusations but have been relocated for safety reasons while the investigation is conducted by the Internal Control Body. “There is no evidence directly connecting them to the complaints, but we have moved them temporarily during the investigation process.”

Since the state police took over on March 7th, the 264 municipal officers they replaced are undergoing comprehensive evaluations, including psychological, medical, toxicology tests, and background checks, alongside polygraph exams. The officers’ firearms are also being inspected for serial numbers and codes in an ongoing vetting process.

Accountability in law enforcement is crucial, and while unexpected, this proactive approach may mark the beginning of significant improvements in Rosarito’s security forces.
