**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily relieved of duty in Rosarito due to two formal complaints since the state police took over local security on March 7th. According to Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, one of the complaints was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo Rodríguez stated, “We’ve received complaints about the state police. So far, there are two formal cases under investigation.” He further noted that while social media has been abuzz with other allegations, no additional formal reports have been made.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that while there is no concrete evidence linking the officers to the allegations, they have been relocated for safety reasons while the investigation by the Internal Control Body is underway. “They have been reassigned, but we are fully committed to uncovering the truth,” he elaborated.
As part of the state police’s assumption of local security duties since March 7th, Rosarito’s 264 municipal officers are undergoing comprehensive evaluations, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests. They are also being subjected to social background checks and polygraph exams, with their firearms being inspected as well.
This scenario of accountability reflects an encouraging step towards enhancing Rosarito’s security forces’ integrity. Residents are hopeful that these actions herald a significant overhaul for better local security.
