**Four State Police Officers Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In a recent development, four state police officers have been temporarily removed from their duties in Rosarito following two formal complaints. This action comes in the wake of the state police taking over local security responsibilities on March 7th.
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. “We have received complaints concerning the state police, resulting in two formal cases that are currently under investigation,” stated Carrillo RodrÃguez.
Despite rumors circulating on social media, Carrillo RodrÃguez noted that no additional formal complaints have been filed. He emphasized that the involved officers have been reassigned to ensure safety as the Internal Control Body investigates the matter. “There is no concrete evidence linking them to the allegations, but they have been relocated during the investigation,” he explained.
The transition of security responsibilities in Rosarito involves the replacement of 264 municipal officers who are currently undergoing comprehensive evaluations, including psychological, medical, and toxicology assessments. This vetting process also includes checks of their social backgrounds and polygraph exams, along with inspections of their firearms for valid serial numbers and codes.
This recent action reflects an effort towards accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, potentially marking the beginning of significant reforms.
