**Four State Police Officers Removed in Rosarito Over Complaints**
In Rosarito, a situation involving four state police officers has prompted their temporary reassignment following two formal complaints filed against them. The reallocation comes after the state police assumed control of local security duties earlier this month, taking over from municipal officers.
Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, reported that one complaint has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office and another with the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We have received complaints regarding the state police, and currently, two formal cases are being investigated,” Carrillo Rodríguez stated. He also mentioned that although there are allegations surfacing on social media, no new formal complaints have been reported.
As for the four officers involved, Carrillo Rodríguez explained that their reassignment is purely precautionary, aimed at ensuring safety while investigations proceed. “There’s no direct evidence linking them to the allegations, but they have been relocated for the time being,” he clarified.
Since transitioning on March 7th, state police have overseen Rosarito’s security system. During this period, the 264 municipal officers are undergoing comprehensive vetting, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being thoroughly inspected.
This action points to a growing accountability within Rosarito’s forces. As investigations progress, there is hope that these steps signify the onset of a broader effort to enhance integrity and responsibility among those tasked with maintaining public safety in the area.
