**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Temporarily Suspended Amid Complaints**
Four state police officers have been temporarily suspended in Rosarito following two formal complaints, shortly after the state police assumed local security responsibilities on March 7th. These developments were confirmed by Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security.
One complaint has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department. Carrillo Rodríguez stated, “We’ve received complaints regarding the conduct of state police officers. Currently, there are two formal cases, prompting an investigation.”
The secretary also mentioned looking into allegations that have surfaced on social media, although no additional formal reports have been registered at this time.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
While there is no direct evidence yet linking the officers to the accusations, they have been reassigned to other duties for their safety as investigations proceed. “Their relocation is a precautionary measure while the Internal Control Body carries out a thorough examination,” Carrillo Rodríguez explained.
Since taking over security duties on March 7th, the State Police has been conducting a comprehensive vetting process of the former 264 municipal officers, including psychological, medical, and toxicology testing, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, their firearms are being re-checked for serial numbers and codes.
This move towards accountability in the state’s police force could be a significant first step in revamping Rosarito’s security. The community will be watching closely to see if it signals a broader effort to cleanse and improve the area’s law enforcement.
