**Rosarito Police Investigation: Four State Officers Temporarily Removed Amid Complaints**
In recent developments in Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints. This move comes after the state police took charge of local security on March 7th.
Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, Baja California’s Secretary of Citizen Security, revealed that one complaint has been lodged with the State Attorney General’s Office, while another has been directed to the Internal Control Body of the security department. “We have received formal complaints against the state police, and currently, there are two cases under investigation,” stated Carrillo Rodríguez.
In addition to these formal complaints, various allegations have surfaced on social media, which are also being reviewed by the authorities; however, no additional formal reports have been filed at this time.
**Officers Reassigned as Precaution**
Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that the four officers had been reassigned to ensure safety while the Internal Control Body carries out a comprehensive investigation. “There is no concrete evidence linking the officers to the allegations, but they have been relocated to facilitate ongoing investigations,” he explained.
Since March 7th, the State Police have been managing security in Rosarito. This shift entails the replacement of 264 municipal officers, who are currently undergoing rigorous psychological, medical, toxicology, and social background checks along with polygraph exams as part of a detailed vetting process. Even their firearms are being examined for serial numbers and codes.
This situation underscores a significant moment of accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, potentially heralding the start of much-needed reforms.
