The El Escorial City Council launches the selection process to fill 5 Local Police positions classified in the Special Administration scale, Auxiliary subscale. The call was published in the BOE of July 9, 2026 and the complete bases appear in the BOCM no. 156 of July 2, 2026.
The process is structured in two differentiated routes: most positions are filled through competitive examination in open competition, accessible to any citizen meeting the requirements; and one position is reserved for mobility competition, exclusively for civil servants from local police bodies wishing to change location.
What does this call establish?
The resolution approves the bases and convenes the selection process to fill the 5 vacant Local Police positions in the municipality of El Escorial. The positions are distributed as follows:
| Competition | Modality | Positions | Eligible candidates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open competition | Competitive examination | 4 | Any applicant meeting general requirements |
| Mobility | Competition | 1 | Civil servants from Local Police bodies or similar |
The complete bases —which include access requirements, syllabus, selection process phases and necessary documentation— are published in the BOCM no. 156 of July 2, 2026. Applicants must consult that document to know all the details of the process.
The application submission deadline is 20 working days counted from the day following publication in the BOE, that is, from July 10, 2026. After that deadline, applications will not be accepted.
Economic and operational impact
For the El Escorial City Council, filling these 5 positions means strengthening the local public safety workforce with career civil servants. The incorporation of agents through competitive examination ensures workforce stability compared to other temporary arrangements.
For applicants, the main cost is preparation for the selection process: opposition academies, study materials and participation fees that, if applicable, are set in the bases published in the BOCM. These amounts are not detailed in the BOE resolution and must be consulted directly in the bases of BOCM no. 156.
For civil servants opting for mobility competition, the process is exclusively a merit competition, without an examination phase, which significantly reduces preparation effort compared to open competition.
Who does it affect?
- Open competition applicants: any person meeting the general access requirements for the Special Administration scale, Auxiliary subscale, in the Local Police category (age, qualifications, physical condition, etc., according to the BOCM bases).
- Civil servants in mobility competition: active agents belonging to Local Police bodies or similar bodies wishing to transfer to the El Escorial City Council.
- Opposition academies and preparation instructors: new active call in the Community of Madrid for 2026.
- El Escorial City Council: obligated to manage the selection process in accordance with the published bases and established deadlines.
Practical example
An applicant meeting the general requirements to access the Local Police and wanting to apply for open competition must act quickly: the 20 working day deadline from July 10, 2026 expires approximately at the end of July or beginning of August 2026 (excluding holidays and weekends).
Their immediate roadmap would be: download the BOCM no. 156 bases, verify that they meet all requirements (qualifications, age, physical fitness, etc.), prepare the required documentation and submit the application within the deadline. If they do not submit the application within that deadline, they are automatically excluded from this selection process.
A Local Police civil servant currently active in another Madrid municipality wishing to apply for the mobility position must check if their body is among those admitted in mobility competition according to the BOCM bases, and submit their application also within the same 20 working day deadline.
What should applicants do now?
- Download the complete bases from BOCM no. 156 (July 2, 2026): this is the document that regulates all requirements, phases, syllabus and documentation. Without reading it, you cannot submit a correct application.
- Verify compliance with all access requirements: qualifications, age, physical condition, criminal record and any other specific requirement set by the bases.
- Calculate the exact submission deadline: 20 working days from July 10, 2026. Identify the specific closing date excluding regional and local holidays.
- Prepare and submit the application before the deadline: gather all required documentation and submit it through the channel indicated in the bases (in-person or electronic). An application submitted after the deadline or incomplete results in exclusion from the process.
- Civil servants in mobility: verify that the body of origin is admitted in mobility competition and prepare the documentation proving the merits required in the bases.
