**State Police Officers in Rosarito Temporarily Reassigned Amid Investigations**
Four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily removed from duty following two formal complaints since the state force took over local security duties on March 7th. These complaints, as Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, reported, include one filed with the State Attorney General’s Office and another with the Internal Control Body of the state’s security department.
Carrillo Rodríguez stated, “We are actively investigating these formal complaints regarding the state police. While we have received multiple reports circulating on social media, no further formal complaints have been launched.”
As a safety precaution during the investigation by the Internal Control Body, the officers have been reassigned. “Currently, there’s no evidence directly connecting them to any accusations, yet the reassignment ensures a thorough and unobstructed investigation,” Carrillo Rodríguez explained.
Since the state police took charge of Rosarito’s security, all 264 municipal officers are undergoing rigorous vetting processes, including psychological, medical, and toxicology screenings, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being verified for serial numbers and codes.
This situation signals a potential for increasing accountability within Rosarito’s policing system. It’s not every day that law enforcement modifications are visibly made, hoping it marks the start of further security force improvements.
