**Four State Police Officers in Rosarito Face Temporary Suspension Amid Complaints**
Four officers from the State Police in Rosarito have been temporarily removed from their positions following two formal complaints since the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th. Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, reported that one complaint was lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, and another with the Internal Control Body of the security department.
“We have received two formal complaints from the public regarding the state police, and investigations are underway,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez. He also mentioned that rumors and allegations circulating online are being examined, although no further formal complaints have been submitted.
**Officers Reassigned Pending Investigation**
The affected officers have been relocated to other duties for safety measures as investigations progress. Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that there is currently no evidence linking them to the alleged misconduct, but their reassignment allows a thorough investigation by the Internal Control Body.
Since March 7th, the state police have been charged with maintaining security in Rosarito, replacing 264 municipal officers. These municipal officers are currently undergoing a comprehensive vetting process that includes psychological, medical, and toxicology screenings, as well as social background checks and polygraph exams. Additionally, their firearms are being inspected for serial numbers and compliance.
While accountability within law enforcement is rare, this could mark the beginning of necessary reforms within Rosarito’s security forces.
