The Municipality of El Ejido launches one of the most relevant local public employment calls in Almería in 2026: 9 Local Police positions distributed across three different competitions. The resolution, signed on June 22, 2026 and published in the BOE on June 29, activates the official deadline for submitting applications.
The complete bases of the call were previously published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Almería on June 11, 2026, so applicants can already consult the specific requirements, syllabus and scoring criteria applicable to each competition.
What does this call establish?
The call structures access to the 9 positions through three differentiated systems, each with its own requirements, tests and scoring criteria:
| Competition | Positions | Category | Selection system | Aimed at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open competition | 7 | Local Police | Opposition | General public meeting requirements |
| Internal promotion | 1 | Local Police Officer | Competitive examination | Officers of the Local Police force of El Ejido |
| Mobility | 1 | Local Police | Competition | Officers from other Local Police forces |
Open competition is the largest quantitatively: 7 of the 9 positions are filled through open opposition. The Officer position for internal promotion represents a category advancement for officers already integrated into El Ejido's force, while the mobility position allows lateral incorporation of agents from other municipalities without needing to pass a complete opposition.
The regulatory bases—published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Almería on June 11, 2026—are the reference document for knowing the specific requirements for qualifications, age, physical fitness, background and the development of each phase of the selection process.
Operational impact and real opportunity
For the Municipality of El Ejido, this call represents a significant reinforcement of the local security workforce. Filling 9 positions in a single selection process is a substantial commitment for a municipality the size of El Ejido, one of the most populated in the province of Almería.
For applicants, the key operational elements are:
- Application deadline: 20 working days from the day following publication in the BOE (June 30, 2026). The count excludes Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
- Bases already available: published in the Official Gazette of Almería on June 11, 2026, which provides time to prepare documentation before the deadline expires.
- Three access routes: each competition has an independent process, so an officer from another force can apply for mobility without competing with open competition applicants.
Who does it affect?
- Open competition applicants: any citizen meeting the general requirements established in the bases (qualifications, age, physical fitness, etc.) who wants to join El Ejido's Local Police force.
- Officers of the Local Police force of El Ejido: those with the required category who wish to advance to Officer through the internal promotion competitive examination.
- Officers from other Local Police forces: active agents in other municipalities who want to transfer to El Ejido through the mobility competition.
- Academies and opposition exam preparers: the call generates demand for specific preparation for open competition tests.
- Human resources advisors in local administration: must know the deadlines and systems to correctly guide candidates.
Practical example
A Local Police officer from the Municipality of Roquetas de Mar (Almería) who has been active for several years and wants to change location can apply to El Ejido's mobility competition. Since it is a competition—not an opposition—the process is based on merit evaluation (seniority, training, previous postings), without needing to pass additional theoretical exams or physical tests. They have 20 working days from June 30, 2026 to submit their application and supporting documentation of merits to the Municipality of El Ejido.
On the other hand, a sub-officer of El Ejido's Local Police force who aspires to advance to Officer can apply for the internal promotion position through competitive examination, competing only with colleagues from the same force who meet the call's requirements.
What should applicants do now?
- Consult the complete bases in the Official Gazette of Almería (June 11, 2026): verify the specific requirements for qualifications, age, physical conditions and documentation required for the competition you are applying to.
- Identify the correct competition: open competition (general public), internal promotion (officers of El Ejido's force) or mobility (officers from other Local Police forces). Each competition has a different process and scoring criteria.
- Calculate the application deadline: the deadline is 20 working days from June 30, 2026. Count working days excluding local and provincial holidays in Almería.
- Prepare and gather documentation: ID, qualifications, certificates of services rendered (for mobility and internal promotion), and any merit that must be accredited according to the scoring criteria.
- Submit the application within the deadline: follow the procedure indicated in the bases (in-person or electronic) to the Municipality of El Ejido before the deadline expires.
