### Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Allegations
In recent developments from Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from their positions following formal complaints filed against them. This comes after the State Police took on the responsibility of local security starting March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, revealed that one complaint has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez confirmed ongoing investigations into these complaints: “There are two formal cases currently under review,” he stated, also mentioning that allegations circulating on social media are being considered, although no additional formal complaints have been officially filed.
### Officers Temporarily Re-deployed
While investigations are underway, the four officers have been reassigned for their safety. Carrillo RodrÃguez was keen to clarify that there is currently no concrete evidence linking these officers to any wrongdoing, but they have been moved as a precaution during the investigation by the Internal Control Body.
Since assuming control of Rosarito’s security, the State Police have also been involved in a comprehensive evaluation of the local police force. This includes psychological, medical, and toxicology testing of 264 municipal officers, along with thorough background checks and polygraph exams. Even their firearms are under scrutiny, with serial numbers and codes being meticulously inspected.
This situation perhaps marks the beginning of a long-overdue overhaul within Rosarito’s security forces, emphasizing accountability and transparency.
### Further Developments
Meanwhile, Rosarito is seeing other significant happenings. Recently, authorities in Ensenada, a nearby city, seized nearly 2.1 million gallons of stolen gasoline in a massive fuel operation crackdown.

In related news, a weather alert has been issued for the region, warning residents and visitors to prepare for strong winds, choppy seas, and a drop in temperatures. These climate conditions could potentially impact ongoing events and transportation in the area.
