**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints since the state police assumed control over local security on March 7th. This decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to maintain accountability within the force.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, reported that one of the complaints has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another has been submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We’ve received two formal complaints from citizens regarding state police activities, and each is currently under investigation,” Carrillo RodrÃguez stated.
He also addressed various rumors circulating on social media, confirming that they are being reviewed, although no further formal complaints have been recorded yet.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
Regarding the situation of the four officers in question, Carrillo RodrÃguez explained that they have been reallocated to other duties for safety reasons while an investigation is conducted by the Internal Control Body. “Currently, there is no conclusive evidence against them concerning the allegations, but they have been reassigned to facilitate an impartial investigation,” he noted.
Since March 7th, the State Police have been responsible for maintaining law and order in Rosarito, as the 264 municipal officers undergo an extensive vetting process involving psychological, medical, and toxicology evaluations, alongside background checks and polygraph tests. Their firearms are also being inspected for serial numbers and codes to ensure integrity.
This step marks a significant move towards ensuring accountability among security forces in Rosarito, heralding the onset of much-needed reforms in local law enforcement.
