**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In recent developments out of Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from their positions pending an investigation. This move comes after two formal complaints related to their conduct were lodged since the State Police took over local security responsibilities on March 7th.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security in Baja California, reported that one of these complaints was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office while another was referred to the Internal Control Body of the security department. Carrillo RodrÃguez emphasized that they are taking these complaints seriously and have opened investigations into these matters.
Additionally, unverified allegations have circulated on social media, further prompting an internal review, although no other formal complaints have been officially recorded.
The reassignment of these officers is a precautionary measure, allowing for a thorough investigation by the Internal Control Body. “There is currently no concrete evidence linking them to any wrongdoing,” Carrillo RodrÃguez stated, “but their reassignment is necessary to ensure an unbiased investigation.”
Since the transition of security management on March 7th, the State Police have been replacing the 264 local municipal officers. These municipal officers are currently undergoing a rigorous vetting process, which includes psychological, medical, and toxicology evaluations, as well as background checks and polygraph tests. Their weapons are also being meticulously checked to verify serial numbers and codes.
Though accountability within police ranks is rare, it’s refreshing to see proactive measures being taken. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of significant improvements in Rosarito’s law enforcement.
