17 Local Police Positions in Coslada 2026: deadline, requirements and how to apply

Key data

The Coslada City Council convenes 17 Local Police positions belonging to the Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale. The call was published in the BOE of August 10, 2026 through the Resolution of August 4, 2026 from the Coslada City Council. The selection process is structured as a competition-opposition in free competition, which means that any citizen who meets the requirements established in the bases can apply, without needing to be an active civil servant.

The critical fact for applicants: the deadline for submitting applications is 15 business days counted from the day after publication in the BOE, that is, from August 11, 2026. Anyone who does not submit their application within that deadline will be excluded from the process.

What does this call establish?

The resolution published in the BOE acts as the official announcement of the call and refers to the complete bases published in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid (BOCM) number 183, of August 3, 2026. It is in that document where the specific access requirements, syllabus, phases of the selection process and evaluation criteria for the competition-opposition are detailed.

The structural elements of the call are as follows:

• Number of positions: 17 Local Police positions.
• Scale: Special Administration, Special Services subscale.
• Selection system: Competition-opposition in free competition (open access to any citizen who meets requirements).
• Complete bases: BOCM no. 183, of August 3, 2026.
• Application deadline: 15 business days from the day after publication in the BOE (from August 11, 2026).
• Publication of subsequent announcements: As provided in the bases of the call itself.

Free competition means that there is no reservation of positions for internal promotion or for other specific groups in this particular call. All applicants compete on equal terms, subject to the merits and tests established by the BOCM bases.

Operational impact and opportunity

For applicants to Local Police, this call represents a relevant opportunity: 17 positions in a single process is a significant volume for a municipality like Coslada, which increases the statistical probabilities of access compared to smaller calls.

From an operational perspective, the critical points to manage are:

• Tight deadline: 15 business days is a short margin. Anyone who does not have the documentation prepared can be left out due to an administrative error, not due to lack of merit.
• Mandatory consultation of BOCM no. 183: The BOE resolution does not detail requirements or syllabus. All technical information is in the BOCM bases. Applying without reading the bases is the most frequent and most time-consuming error in this type of process.
• Monitoring of subsequent announcements: The phases of the process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) will be published as provided in the bases themselves, so the applicant must be attentive to the channels indicated in the BOCM.

Who does it affect?

• Citizens who wish to apply for a Local Police position in the municipality of Coslada (Madrid), regardless of their current employment situation.
• Active opposition candidates who are preparing for Local Police opposition exams in the Community of Madrid and want to add this call to their agenda.
• Opposition preparation academies that must inform and guide their students on deadlines and bases.
• Civil servants from other bodies who meet the requirements and want to access Local Police through free competition.
• Human resources advisors in the public sector who manage selection processes or advise candidates.

Practical example

An applicant who learns of the call on the same day it is published in the BOE (August 10, 2026) has 15 business days to submit their application, counted from August 11. Given that August includes holidays and that the count excludes Saturdays and Sundays, the effective deadline extends approximately until the end of August or early September 2026 (the exact date depends on the official calendar of business days in Coslada).

Their immediate roadmap should be: (1) download the complete bases from BOCM no. 183 of August 3, 2026, (2) verify that you meet all access requirements detailed there, (3) prepare the required documentation and (4) submit the application within the deadline. If you wait to "study the bases carefully" without controlling the calendar, you can miss the deadline with no possibility of appeal.

What should you do now?

1. Download the complete bases from BOCM no. 183 (August 3, 2026) and read them in full before doing anything else. That's where the requirements, syllabus and process phases are.
2. Verify that you meet all access requirements established in the bases. Do not assume you meet them: check them point by point.
3. Calculate the last business day of the deadline by applying the official calendar of business days in Coslada. The deadline is 15 business days from August 11, 2026.
4. Prepare and gather the required documentation with sufficient margin. Administrative procedures (certificates, certified copies, fees) can take days.
5. Submit the application within the deadline through the channel indicated in the bases. An application submitted after the deadline has no possible appeal.
6. Activate monitoring of subsequent process announcements (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates) according to the channels provided in the bases themselves.
