**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In a recent development in Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from duty amidst ongoing investigations linked to two formal complaints. This action follows the State Police’s takeover of local security operations on March 7th.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, 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 about the state police. Currently, there are two formal cases under investigation,” said Carrillo RodrÃguez. He also mentioned that while there are circulating allegations on social media, they have yet to see further formal reports filed.
**Officers Reassigned During the Investigation**
Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified that the officers have been reassigned for safety reasons while investigations are underway. “There is no evidence at this time linking them to the allegations; however, they have been relocated as a precaution,” he explained.
Since the security handover on March 7th, the State Police has assumed control over Rosarito’s local security. This change occurred as the 264 former municipal officers undergo various tests including psychological, medical, and toxicology examinations, alongside thorough social background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, their firearms are being scrutinized for serial number integrity and codes.
The transparency and responsiveness to the complaints signify a potential shift towards heightened accountability within the security forces of Rosarito, suggesting steps towards establishing a more trustworthy and effective public safety system.
