67 Urban Guard Agent Positions in Badalona: 2026 Opposition

Key data

Badalona announces 67 Urban Guard Agent positions through the opposition system in open competition, according to the Resolution of June 18, 2026 published in the Official Gazette on June 24, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-13701). This is one of the largest public employment calls in the province of Barcelona in the field of Local Police in 2026.

Access in open competition means that it is not reserved for internal promotion or specific groups: any citizen who meets the requirements set out in the bases can apply. The complete bases were published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on June 16, 2026, and are the reference document for knowing the requirements for qualifications, physical condition, age and other admission criteria.

What does this call establish?

The call regulates the selection process to fill 67 positions belonging to the Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale, Local Police class and auxiliaries, within the staff of the Municipality of Badalona.

Successive announcements of the selection process —lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results— will be published as established in the bases themselves, so applicants must periodically consult the official channels indicated in them.

Operational impact and opportunity

For the Municipality of Badalona, incorporating 67 agents represents a significant reinforcement of the Urban Guard staff, with the consequent impact on the operational capacity of the force. For applicants, it represents an opportunity to access stable public employment in the field of local security in one of the most populous municipalities in Catalonia.

From the perspective of applicants and preparation academies, the volume of positions announced —67 in open competition— is relevant: the greater the number of positions, the greater the probability of access for well-prepared candidates. The process is governed entirely by the bases published in the BOPB on June 16, 2026, which are the binding document for any aspect of the process.

Who does it affect?

• Citizens wishing to access the Urban Guard of Badalona for the first time (open competition available to any candidate who meets requirements).
• Active applicants preparing to access Local Police forces in Catalonia.
• Opposition preparation academies in the province of Barcelona and Catalonia.
• Human resources advisors in the public sector managing municipal selection processes.
• Municipality of Badalona as the calling entity and responsible for the selection process.

Practical example

A resident of Badalona who meets the qualification, age and physical condition requirements set out in the bases wants to apply for the call. The DOGC publishes the announcement on June 24, 2026. The 20-day calendar deadline begins on June 25, 2026 and ends on July 14, 2026 (unless the bases or the DOGC specify another publication date in that official gazette). The applicant must submit their application before that deadline expires, following the procedure indicated in the bases published in the BOPB on June 16, 2026. Subsequent announcements —such as the list of admitted candidates or the date of the first exam— will be published in the channels that the bases themselves determine.
