**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Reassigned in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints. The complaints have surfaced since the state police took charge of local security operations on March 7.
Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, stated that one complaint has been filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another has been directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We’ve received reports from the public concerning the state police, and there are two formal cases currently being investigated,” Carrillo Rodríguez mentioned.
The secretary also addressed circulating allegations on social media, noting that these are under review even though no additional formal reports have been submitted.
**Officers Under Investigation**
Regarding the current status of the four officers, Carrillo Rodríguez explained that they have been reassigned for safety reasons while the investigation by the Internal Control Body is underway. “There is no concrete evidence linking them to any wrongdoing, but they have been relocated during the investigative process,” he clarified.
Since the state police took control of security on March 7, 264 municipal officers are undergoing a comprehensive vetting process that includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, along with social background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, their firearms are being inspected for serial codes and numbers.
The reassignment of these officers highlights a move towards accountability and transparency within the Rosarito security forces.
