**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In a recent development, four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints lodged since the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th. According to Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, one complaint reached the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was submitted to the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez highlighted the current investigations, stating, “We’ve had individuals come forward with complaints about the state police. So far, there are two formal cases under investigation.” He also mentioned that additional allegations circulating on social media are being examined, although no further formal reports have been received.
**Officers Reassigned, Investigation Underway**
Regarding the involved officers, Carrillo RodrÃguez explained that they have been reassigned for safety reasons pending the outcome of the investigation by the Internal Control Body. “There is no evidence linking them to the accusations at this time, but they have been relocated while we conduct a thorough investigation,” he stated.
As of March 7th, the State Police have overseen security operations in Rosarito, replacing the 264 municipal officers who are undergoing various evaluations, including psychological, medical, and toxicology testing, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being carefully inspected for serial numbers and codes as part of the vetting process.
This move reflects a growing emphasis on accountability within the law enforcement community in Rosarito. It signals the start of what many hope will be a significant reform effort to restore public confidence in local security forces.
