**Rosarito Police Officers Temporarily Relocated Amid Investigation into Allegations**
Four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily reassigned due to complaints lodged against them. This decision follows two formal complaints since the State Police assumed control over local security on March 7th.
According to Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the complaints have been filed with both the State Attorney General’s Office and the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We take these complaints seriously and are currently investigating the two formal cases that have been reported,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez.
In response to rumors and online allegations, Carrillo Rodríguez assured the public that these are also under review, although no further formal complaints have emerged. The reassigned officers have not been proven guilty of the accusations but have been moved as a precaution during the ongoing investigation by the Internal Control Body.
Since the State Police took charge in early March, replacing 264 municipal officers who are undergoing a rigorous evaluation including psychological, medical, and background checks, this incident has highlighted the importance of accountability within the force. The ongoing vetting process even includes inspecting officers’ firearms for any discrepancies.
This case of accountability, though unexpected, could mark the beginning of a necessary clean-up effort within Rosarito’s security forces, aimed at ensuring public trust and safety.

Simultaneously, the ongoing evaluation of municipal officers—set to replace the State Police—includes comprehensive psychological, medical, and toxicology examinations, along with polygraph tests and social background checks.
