**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily reassigned from their duties in Rosarito after two official complaints were filed since the state police assumed control over local security on March 7th. Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, reported that one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez stated, “We have individuals coming forward with grievances concerning the state police. Currently, there are two official complaints under investigation.” Additionally, he addressed circulating allegations on social media, noting they are being examined, though no further formal reports have been filed.
**Officers Reassigned Amid Investigations**
Discussing the situation of the four officers, Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified that they have been relocated primarily for safety as investigations by the Internal Control Body are underway. “There is no conclusive evidence tying them to the accusations at this time, but we’ve reassigned them pending the investigation,” he said.
Since taking over in Rosarito on March 7th, the State Police replaced 264 municipal officers, who are now undergoing a thorough vetting process, including psychological, medical, and toxicological assessments. These tests are accompanied by social background checks and polygraph exams, with firearms being inspected for serial numbers and codes.
Although holding officers accountable is not an everyday occurrence, steps like these may signify the start of necessary reforms within Rosarito’s security forces.
