**Rosarito Security Shake-Up: State Police Officers Temporarily Suspended Amid Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police have been temporarily suspended in Rosarito following two formal complaints submitted since the state police assumed local security duties on March 7th. This move comes as part of an ongoing investigation into the officers’ conduct during their service in the area.
Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, confirmed that one of the complaints was filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other was lodged with the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We’ve had individuals come forward with complaints regarding the state police. Currently, there are two formal cases under investigation,” said Carrillo RodrÃguez.
The secretary also commented on rumors circulating on social media, indicating they are being reviewed, though no additional formal complaints have been registered.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
While the investigation by the Internal Control Body proceeds, the four officers have been reassigned to ensure safety and impartiality. Carrillo RodrÃguez emphasized, “There is no evidence directly connecting the officers to the allegations at this point; they have been reassigned solely as a precautionary measure during the investigative process.”
The shift in security leadership came after the State Police took over on March 7th, replacing 264 municipal officers subjected to a comprehensive vetting process. This process includes psychological, medical, and toxicology examinations, as well as social background checks and polygraph tests. Additionally, their firearms are undergoing inspection for proper serial numbers and codes.
Such accountability in law enforcement is unusual, but it signifies progress towards transparency and responsibility. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of essential reforms within Rosarito’s security ranks.
