**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily relieved of their duties in Rosarito following the filing of two formal complaints against them. Since the State Police assumed local security responsibilities on March 7th, these complaints have emerged, prompting swift action from the authorities.
According to Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, 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. “We’ve received complaints concerning the actions of the state police. Presently, two formal cases are under investigation,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez. He also mentioned that allegations circulating on social media are being reviewed, though no further official reports have been filed.
**Officers Relocated, Investigation Pending**
Carrillo Rodríguez clarified the situation of the four officers, explaining that they have been reassigned for safety reasons as investigations by the Internal Control Body continue. “There is currently no concrete evidence connecting them to the allegations, but their relocation is part of our protocol during the investigation,” he noted.
Since taking over security in Rosarito on March 7th, the State Police have replaced the 264 municipal officers who are currently undergoing thorough evaluations, including psychological, medical, toxicology tests, social background checks, and polygraph exams. Additionally, their firearms are being inspected for serial numbers and codes.
The transparency and accountability within the police force are crucial, and this situation might signal the beginning of a necessary overhaul in Rosarito’s security forces, ensuring the safety and trust of the community.
