**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Amid Complaints**
In Rosarito, four State Police officers have been temporarily relieved of their duties following two formal complaints since the State Police assumed control of local security on March 7th. The Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo RodrÃguez, confirmed that one complaint is under the review of the State Attorney General’s Office, while the other is being investigated by the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo RodrÃguez remarked, “We have received complaints about the state police. Currently, there are two formal cases under investigation.” He also mentioned that certain allegations appearing on social media are being assessed, though no further formal complaints have been made.
**Officers Reassigned as Investigations Continue**
Carrillo RodrÃguez clarified that the officers were relocated amid ongoing inquiries by the Internal Control Body, noting that there is currently no evidence linking them to any wrongdoing. However, they were reassigned as a precautionary measure while the investigation proceeds.
Since the State Police took over on March 7th, they have been overseeing security in Rosarito. The 264 local municipal officers are presently undergoing a thorough vetting process including psychological, medical, toxicology tests, along with background checks and polygraph exams. Their firearms are also being examined for serial numbers and codes.
This effort marks a significant push towards accountability within Rosarito’s security forces, hopefully signifying the start of necessary reforms.
