**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Temporarily Removed Amid Complaints**
In a recent development, four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been relieved of their duties temporarily following two formal complaints filed since the state police assumed control over local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, confirmed these complaints, noting that one was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, and the other was lodged with the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“We have received formal complaints about the state police, and we’re actively investigating these cases,” Carrillo RodrÃguez stated. He also mentioned that while there are various allegations circulating on social media, no additional formal complaints have been received beyond the initial two.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
Regarding the status of the involved officers, Carrillo RodrÃguez explained that they have been reassigned to ensure their safety as the investigation by the Internal Control Body is underway. “There isn’t any concrete evidence linking the officers to the accusations, hence they’ve been relocated for the duration of the investigation,” he clarified.
Since March 7th, when the State Police took over security duties in Rosarito, a thorough vetting process has been in motion. This process includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests for the 264 municipal officers, along with social background checks and polygraph exams. Even their firearms are undergoing thorough inspections for serial numbers and codes.
Though accountability in law enforcement can sometimes be rare, efforts like these might indicate a positive step towards strengthening public trust and ensuring security personnel adhere to ethical standards.
