**Four Rosarito State Police Officers Temporarily Removed Amid Complaints**
In a recent development, four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily removed from their positions following two formal complaints filed against them. This decision comes after the state police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, disclosed that one complaint has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, whereas the other has been directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We’ve received reports from individuals regarding the state police. Currently, we are investigating two formal cases,” stated Carrillo RodrÃguez.
Despite circulating allegations on social media, Carrillo RodrÃguez affirmed that they are being meticulously examined, yet no further formal allegations have been received.
**Reassignments Pending Investigation**
Regarding the status of the implicated officers, Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified that their reassignment is a precautionary measure while the Internal Control Body continues its investigation. “There’s no concrete evidence at this point linking them to the complaints, but they have been reassigned for now,” he added.
Since their takeover on March 7, the State Police has been overseeing Rosarito’s security operations, taking over from the 264 municipal officers who are presently undergoing a comprehensive vetting process, including psychological, medical, and toxicology evaluations, as well as social background checks and polygraph examinations. Moreover, their firearms are subjected to thorough inspection for serial numbers and codes.
This instance serves as a rare glimpse into accountability among law enforcement and might mark the beginning of essential reforms within Rosarito’s security apparatus.
