In recent developments concerning law enforcement in Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily reassigned following two formal complaints. Since the state police assumed local security responsibilities on March 7th, these issues have emerged.

The Secretary of Citizen Security of Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, confirmed that the complaints were submitted to both the State Attorney General’s Office and the Internal Control Body of the security department. “There are currently two formal cases under investigation,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez. Allegations circulating on social media are being taken seriously, but to date, no additional formal complaints have been reported.

While investigations are underway, the concerned officers have been relocated to ensure safety, as clarified by Carrillo Rodríguez. “There’s no concrete evidence linking them to the accusations yet; however, they have been reassigned during the investigative process,” he explained.

This move comes as part of an overarching security overhaul initiated by the state police in Rosarito. The replacement of 264 municipal officers with state police includes rigorous vetting processes for the municipal police, involving psychological, medical, and toxicology testing, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also subjected to serial number and code inspections to ensure compliance.

As investigations continue, this action appears to be a step forward in accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, hinting at potentially broader reforms. Time will tell if this is the start of a larger cleanup effort.
