**Rosarito Police Shake-Up: Four Officers Temporarily Reassigned Amid Complaints**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have found themselves temporarily reassigned following two formal complaints since the state police took over local security duties on March 7th. This transition occurred when the state police assumed responsibility from the 264 municipal officers who are currently undergoing a comprehensive vetting process.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, confirmed that one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another was directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “Several complaints have been received concerning the state police, though only two have been formalized,” explained Carrillo RodrÃguez. He also noted that while allegations on social media are under review, no further formal reports have emerged.
The four officers in question have been relocated for safety considerations while an investigation by the Internal Control Body is underway. Carrillo RodrÃguez emphasized that there is no current evidence linking these officers to any wrongdoing, stating, “Their reassignment is precautionary as we continue our investigation.”
The move to bring state police into Rosarito took place in the context of municipal officers undergoing rigorous evaluations, including psychological assessments, medical and toxicology tests, and polygraph examinations. Additionally, their firearms are being meticulously inspected for serial number verification.
This incident marks a potential turning point in accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, and could signal the beginning of significant reforms in local policing.
