**Four State Police Officers Removed in Rosarito Amid Allegations**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been put on temporary leave following two formal complaints filed since the state police assumed control over local security operations on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, disclosed that one of these complaints was registered with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was directed to the Internal Control Body within the security department.
According to Carrillo RodrÃguez, there have been public allegations concerning the conduct of state police officers, and two formal cases have emerged as a result of these claims. “We are actively investigating the complaints,” he stated. Additionally, he addressed unconfirmed reports circulating on social media, noting that they are under review, although no further formal complaints have been submitted.
**Officers Temporarily Reassigned**
In explaining the situation, Carrillo RodrÃguez noted that the four officers have been reassigned to different duties as a precautionary measure during the ongoing investigation by the Internal Control Body. “At present, there is no evidence tying them directly to the allegations, but we have chosen to relocate them for their safety as the investigation proceeds,” he elaborated.
Since assuming responsibilities from local security forces on March 7th, the State Police in Rosarito have replaced 264 municipal officers who are currently undergoing comprehensive evaluations including psychological, medical, and toxicological assessments, social background checks, and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being thoroughly inspected.
This move marks a significant step towards holding officers accountable and could signal the beginning of necessary reforms within Rosarito’s security forces.
