**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In Rosarito, four State Police officers have been temporarily suspended amid emerging complaints. Since the State Police took over local security responsibilities on March 7th, two formal complaints have surfaced, prompting this action.
Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, revealed that one complaint was officially logged with the State Attorney General’s Office, and another was filed with the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We have individuals who have stepped forward with concerns regarding the state police. Up to now, there are two official cases, and our investigations are ongoing,” shared Carrillo Rodríguez.
Moreover, Carrillo Rodríguez addressed rumors circulating on social media, acknowledging they are under investigation but confirming that no additional formal complaints have been registered.
**Officers Relocated Amid Ongoing Investigation**
The Secretary further clarified that the involved officers have been reassigned for their safety during the inquiry conducted by the Internal Control Body. “There is no evidence yet connecting them to the complaints, but they’ve been moved while we conduct our investigation,” he stated.
Following the takeover on March 7th, the State Police assumed control over Rosarito’s security, substituting the 264 municipal officers, who are currently undergoing comprehensive assessments including psychological, medical, toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams as part of a thorough vetting process. All firearms used by the officers are also being meticulously examined for serial numbers and codes.
Though accountability within police forces isn’t often spotlighted, these developments may signal a necessary reform within Rosarito’s security operations, aligning them with community expectations for accountability and transparency.
