**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily removed from their positions following two formal complaints since the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th. The Baja California Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, reported that one of the complaints was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office and the other with the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez stated, “We’ve had individuals come forward with complaints about the state police. Currently, there are two formal cases, and investigations are in progress.” Rumors circulating on social media are also under scrutiny; however, no additional formal complaints have been lodged.
The officers have been reassigned during the ongoing investigation. Carrillo RodrÃguez emphasized that there is no current evidence connecting them to the allegations, but their relocation is necessary for ensuring a thorough investigation by the Internal Control Body.
Since March 7th, the State Police have overseen security operations in Rosarito, stepping in for the 264 municipal officers who are undergoing comprehensive assessments. These assessments include psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, social background checks, and polygraph exams. All firearms are also undergoing rigorous examination for serial numbers and codes.
It’s a rare occurrence to see accountability within the police force, but this could mark the start of essential changes within Rosarito’s security framework.

Following the recent reshuffling within Rosarito’s security services, additional measures are being implemented to enhance public safety. Authorities have announced stringent guidelines aimed at improving accountability within the police force, including transparent investigation processes and regular performance reviews.
Local residents have expressed mixed feelings about the recent developments. While some welcome the increased oversight and commitment to transparency, others remain skeptical about the long-term effectiveness of these measures.

These actions align with broader efforts across Baja California to modernize and professionalize law enforcement, setting a precedent for other regions in the country. The success of these initiatives remains to be seen, but they represent a purposeful step toward restoring public trust and enhancing security in Rosarito and beyond.
