**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Temporarily Removed Due to Complaints**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints since the state police assumed control over local security operations on March 7th. According to Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, one complaint was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“There are currently two formal complaints against the state police, which we are actively investigating,” said Carrillo Rodríguez. He noted that while allegations are also being discussed on social media, no new formal reports have been made.
**Officers Relocated Amid Investigation**
The four officers have been reassigned as a precautionary measure while the Internal Control Body looks into the allegations. “There is no evidence yet to support the accusations, but for safety reasons, they have been temporarily relocated during the investigation,” Carrillo Rodríguez added.
Since the state police took over security duties earlier this month, the 264 municipal officers previously in charge have been undergoing thorough evaluations. This includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being inspected for serial numbers and codes.
This shake-up in the police force could signify the start of much-needed reforms in Rosarito’s security operations.

Rosarito’s recent transfer of security responsibilities to the state police has stirred various reactions within the community. Some residents express hope that these changes will lead to a more accountable and effective police force, while others are skeptical, fearing possible overreach or disruptions.
Local business owners have reported mixed feelings, with some noting an increased police presence that has helped to deter petty crimes. However, there are concerns about the transparency of the process, especially concerning how officers are selected and evaluated.
This new security arrangement could lead to broader reforms within Baja California’s law enforcement agencies and potentially set a precedent for similar actions in other regions.
