### Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily suspended amid ongoing investigations into complaints received since the transitioning of local security responsibilities on March 7th.
Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security in Baja California, confirmed that one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We have received complaints regarding the state police,” Carrillo Rodríguez stated, emphasizing that investigations are underway. Despite allegations circulating on social media, no further formal reports have been filed.
Regarding the officers’ current status, Carrillo Rodríguez announced they had been reassigned to different locations for security purposes while the Internal Control Body continues its investigation. “There is no concrete evidence linking them to the allegations at this time, but they have been moved as a precautionary measure,” explained Carrillo Rodríguez.
Since March 7th, the State Police have assumed control of security operations in Rosarito, following the suspension of 264 municipal officers. These officers are currently undergoing comprehensive evaluations, including psychological, medical, toxicology tests, social background checks, and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being thoroughly inspected.
While accountability in law enforcement is often hard to come by, these actions could signify the beginning of significant reforms within Rosarito’s security forces.
