**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
Four members of the State Police have been temporarily relieved of their duties in Rosarito after two formal complaints were lodged against them since their unit took control of local security operations on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security in Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, confirmed that one complaint was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office and another with the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo Rodríguez stated, “We have received complaints regarding the conduct of the state police. At present, we have two formal cases under investigation.” He further mentioned that the department is also examining allegations circulating on social media, although no further formal complaints have been registered.
The officers in question have been reassigned as a precautionary measure while investigations are ongoing. “There is no current evidence linking them to the accusations, but they have been moved to safeguard the integrity of the investigation,” explained Carrillo Rodríguez.
Since March 7th, the State Police have been overseeing security in Rosarito. Meanwhile, the 264 municipal officers previously in charge are undergoing comprehensive evaluations, including psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, along with detailed background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, their firearms are being thoroughly checked for serial numbers and codes as part of this extensive vetting process.
This shift in oversight may signify the beginning of significant reforms and accountability within Rosarito’s security forces.
