8 Local Police Positions in La Línea de la Concepción: Opposition and Mobility 2026

Key data

The Municipality of La Línea de la Concepción is calling for 8 Local Police positions with two differentiated access routes: opposition in open competition for the majority of applicants, and a mobility competition for officials already active in other local bodies. The resolution, signed on September 2, 2026, was published in the BOE of September 10, 2026, a date that marks the beginning of the application deadline period.

The positions belong to the Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale, the usual category for local security bodies in Spain. The complete bases governing the process were published in advance: the BOP of Cádiz no. 138, of July 21, 2026, and the BOJA no. 168, of August 31, 2026.

What does this call establish?

The call articulates two simultaneous but independent selection processes:

Open competition requires passing an opposition process in accordance with the bases published in the BOP of Cádiz and the BOJA. Mobility competition, on the other hand, is resolved through a merit competition and is exclusively reserved for officials who already belong to an active Local Police body in any Spanish municipality.

Successive announcements of the process—lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results—will be published as provided in the bases of the call itself, so applicants must regularly check the BOP of Cádiz and the Municipality's notice board.

Operational impact for applicants

From a practical standpoint, the two most critical aspects for any interested party are the deadline and the regulatory bases:

• Application deadline: 20 calendar days counted from September 11, 2026 (the day following publication in the BOE). The deadline expires, therefore, approximately on September 30, 2026.
• Applicable bases: Those published in the BOP of Cádiz no. 138 (July 21, 2026) and in the BOJA no. 168 (August 31, 2026). These bases contain the access requirements, syllabus, physical tests, and merit scale for mobility.
• Successive publications: All information after the application deadline (admitted candidates, dates, results) will be published as indicated in the bases themselves, not necessarily in the BOE.

For active local police officers applying for the mobility competition, the merit competition involves preparing and documenting professional trajectory according to the scale established in the bases. There are no opposition tests in this competition, but rather a competitive evaluation of merits.

Who does it affect?

• Applicants for Local Police who meet the general access requirements established in the bases (open competition, 7 positions).
• Active local police officers belonging to Local Police bodies of any Spanish municipality who wish to transfer to La Línea de la Concepción (mobility competition, 1 position).
• Academies and opposition preparation instructors for Local Police in Andalusia, who must inform their students of this call.
• Municipalities and HR managers of municipalities with local police who may request mobility, since a vacant position generated by mobility may require new coverage.

Practical example

An active local police officer in the Municipality of Algeciras (Cádiz) who has been in the force for several years and wishes to move closer to La Línea de la Concepción can apply for the mobility competition without needing to pass an opposition exam. They must submit their application within the 20 calendar day period from September 11, 2026, accompanied by documentation proving their merits according to the scale of the bases published in the BOP of Cádiz no. 138. If selected in the competition, they will obtain the position in La Línea de la Concepción and their position in Algeciras will become vacant, which could trigger a new call in that municipality.

For a civilian applicant without prior experience in a Local Police body, the only route is open competition: they must pass the opposition tests (theoretical, physical, and where applicable, psychometric) in accordance with the bases. With 7 positions available, the competition ratio will depend on the number of admitted applications, information that will be known after the deadline closes.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Download and read the complete bases published in the BOP of Cádiz no. 138 (July 21, 2026) and in the BOJA no. 168 (August 31, 2026) to know the exact access requirements, tests, and scale.
2. Verify compliance with requirements before submitting the application: qualifications, age, physical conditions, and in the case of mobility competition, the status of active local police officer.
3. Prepare and submit the application within the 20 calendar day period from September 11, 2026 (approximate deadline: September 30, 2026), following the procedure indicated in the bases.
4. Gather merit documentation if applying for the mobility competition, since the competition is resolved by scale and every point counts.
5. Monitor the BOP of Cádiz and the Municipality's notice board to stay informed of successive process publications (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results), as not all will be published in the BOE.
