**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily removed from duty due to two formal complaints lodged since state authorities took control of local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, confirmed that one complaint has been filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was submitted to the security department’s Internal Control Body.
Carrillo Rodríguez explained, “We have received two formal complaints against the state police and are actively investigating these claims.” He also noted that while allegations have surfaced on social media, no additional formal reports have been made.
**Officers Relocated During Investigation**
Regarding the officers in question, Carrillo Rodríguez stated they have been reassigned for safety purposes while an investigation is conducted. “No evidence currently links them to these accusations, but they have been moved to ensure a thorough investigation,” he revealed.
Since taking over security responsibilities in Rosarito, state police have replaced the 264 municipal officers. These municipal officers are undergoing rigorous checks, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background reviews and polygraph exams. Their firearms are being thoroughly inspected as well.
This incident underscores a broader effort towards accountability and transparency within Rosarito’s security forces, marking what could be the beginning of significant reforms.
