Borriana (Castellón) opens the door to 14 new positions in its Local Police Force with an announcement published in the BOE on 3 November 2026. The Resolution of 29 October 2026 from the Municipality of Borriana/Burriana activates two differentiated access routes: open competition and competitive examination for mobility for officers already in service.
With only 10 business days from official publication, any interested applicant must act quickly to avoid missing the announcement.
What does this announcement establish?
The announcement covers 14 Local Police Officer positions classified under the Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale. They are organized in two tracks with different selection processes:
| Track | Positions | Selection system | Access requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open competition | 9 | Competitive examination | Any applicant meeting general requirements |
| Mobility track | 5 | Competitive examination | Active officers from other Local Police forces |
The regulatory bases governing the selection process —including syllabus, phases, scoring and specific requirements— were published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Castellón on 22 August 2026. The announcement in the BOE activates the official deadline for submitting applications.
The application deadline is 10 business days counted from publication in the BOE (3 November 2026). Applicants must consult the complete bases published in the BOP of Castellón to know the exact requirements, syllabus and phases of the process.
Operational impact and opportunity
For applicants and active officers, this announcement represents a concrete opportunity to join or transfer to the Local Police Force of Borriana. From an operational perspective, the key points are:
- Significant volume: 14 positions in a single announcement is a significant offer for a municipality the size of Borriana, indicating a clear commitment to strengthening the force.
- Dual access route: The existence of the mobility track with 5 positions allows officers from other police forces to change destination without needing to pass a complete competitive examination from scratch.
- Very tight deadline: 10 business days is a narrow margin. Gathering documentation, completing the application and submitting it requires starting the process on the day of publication.
- Bases already published: Having been published in the BOP of Castellón on 22 August 2026, applicants who have been preparing already know the syllabus and requirements in advance.
Who does this affect?
- Applicants for Local Police Officer positions who meet general requirements and want to access through open competition (9 positions through competitive examination).
- Active Local Police Officers from other police forces who wish to apply for mobility to Borriana (5 positions through competitive examination).
- Competitive examination preparation academies and training centers in the Valencian Community, which must inform their students of the urgent deadline.
- Human resources advisors in the public sector who manage mobility processes for active officers.
Practical example
An active Local Police Officer in a municipality in the province of Valencia who wishes to transfer to Borriana can apply for the mobility track (competitive examination) competing for one of the 5 reserved positions. Since it is a competitive examination, their experience and merits as an active officer are evaluated in the competitive phase, giving them an advantage over a pure competitive examination process.
The deadline for this officer to submit their application ends at 10 business days from 3 November 2026. If they do not submit the documentation within that deadline, they are excluded from the announcement and must wait for a future mobility offer in Borriana.
For their part, an applicant without prior experience who wants to join the force must apply for the open competition (competitive examination), competing for the 9 available positions, and pass the phases established in the bases published in the BOP of Castellón on 22 August 2026.
What should interested parties do now?
- Download the complete bases from the BOP of Castellón (published on 22 August 2026) to verify specific requirements, syllabus and phases of the selection process before submitting your application.
- Identify the correct track: if you are an active officer from another police force, consider the mobility track (5 positions, competitive examination); if you are accessing for the first time, the open competition (9 positions, competitive examination).
- Prepare the required documentation urgently: the 10 business day deadline from 3 November 2026 is very tight and does not allow for delays.
- Submit your application within the deadline through the channel indicated in the bases. An application submitted after the deadline results in automatic exclusion from the process.
- Consult the official source in the BOE (reference BOE-A-2026-23049) to confirm any details of the announcement and ensure you are working with the most up-to-date information.
