**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Reassigned in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily reassigned amid investigations stemming from two formal complaints. These complaints arose after the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th. According to Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office while the other was directed to the Internal Control Body of the department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez stated, “We’ve had individuals come forward with grievances against the state police. Currently, there are two official cases under investigation.” He also mentioned that they are examining allegations circulated on social media, but no further formal reports have been submitted.
In terms of the investigation, the four officers have been relocated for precautionary reasons, as the Internal Control Body seeks to gather more information. “There is no direct evidence linking them to the accusations, but they have been reassigned during the investigation,” Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified.
Since taking over Rosarito’s security, replacing the 264 municipal officers, the state police are performing thorough vetting processes on the local officers, which include psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, social background checks, and polygraph exams. Firearms are also being inspected for serial numbers and codes.
This incident highlights an ongoing effort to enhance accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, a move that could signify the beginning of a much-needed overhaul in the local law enforcement infrastructure.

Amid recent changes in Rosarito’s security dynamics, the municipal security department is undergoing significant restructuring. In addition to the investigation of the four state police officers, local authorities have intensified efforts to scrutinize the current municipal force. This includes not only the comprehensive vetting of municipal officers as they undergo rigorous testing but also assessing operational protocols to ensure public trust and safety.
The shift is part of a broader initiative to improve law and order across Baja California, with emphasis on transparent policing and community engagement. Residents in Rosarito hope these changes will lead to safer streets and a reduction in crime rates, providing a more secure environment for both locals and tourists.
These developments in Rosarito’s security landscape come as part of a larger trend in Baja California, where authorities are increasingly focusing on modernizing and refining law enforcement strategies to meet international policing standards.
