**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed from Rosarito Amid Complaints**

In a recent development in Rosarito, four state police officers have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints. This action comes shortly after the state police assumed responsibility for local security on March 7th.

Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, confirmed that one of the complaints was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was submitted to the Internal Control Body of the department overseeing security. “We’ve received complaints concerning the state police, and there are two formal cases currently under investigation,” said Carrillo Rodríguez.

He also mentioned that while there are several allegations being circulated on social media, no additional formal complaints have been lodged as of yet.

**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**

Concerning the status of the four officers, Carrillo Rodríguez stated that they have been reassigned for safety reasons during the investigation carried out by the Internal Control Body. “Although there is no concrete evidence linking them to the allegations, they have been relocated while we conduct our investigation,” he explained.

The State Police took over security duties in Rosarito earlier this month, replacing 264 municipal officers who are now going through a rigorous vetting process. This process includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, checks are being conducted on their firearms, inspecting serial numbers and codes.

This incident indicates an uncommon scenario where police accountability is being enforced, a potentially positive step towards cleaning up Rosarito’s security forces.
