National Police Examinations 2026: exam on June 12 for professional and technical staff

Key data

Applicants for professional and technical staff positions of the National Police Corps now know their final status: the Resolution of May 29, 2026 from the General Directorate of Police publishes the final list of admitted and excluded candidates, and sets the first exercise for June 12, 2026. This call was initiated by the Resolution of January 9, 2026.

There is no room for scheduling errors: failure to appear at the exam means automatic exclusion from the process, with no possibility of recovery later.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution published on June 3, 2026 closes the admission phase of the selection process called in January 2026 and establishes the conditions of the first exercise. The key points are:

• Final list of admitted and excluded candidates: published as final. No prior administrative claims are possible; only the indicated appeals are allowed.
• Exclusion reasons applied: not having Spanish nationality, being a career civil servant, not possessing the academic qualification required for the position, or lacking functional capacity.
• First exercise (theoretical): held on June 12, 2026 at 09:00 hours at the Training and Development Division, Plaza de Carabanchel nº5, Madrid.
• Second exercise (personal interview): will be called at a later date, exclusively for those who pass the first exercise.
• Consequence of non-appearance: automatic and irreversible exclusion from the selection process.

Detailed exclusion reasons

Structure of the selection process

Economic and operational impact

For admitted applicants, the impact is fundamentally operational and planning-related:

• Mandatory travel to Madrid: the exam is held exclusively at the Training and Development Division (Plaza de Carabanchel nº5, Madrid). Applicants from other provinces must plan travel and accommodation with sufficient notice.
• Fixed date: June 12, 2026 is the only call for the first exercise. There is no backup call or possibility of recovery.
• Cost of appealing an exclusion: excluded applicants who believe their exclusion is incorrect may file an appeal for reconsideration (free, with the administration itself) within one month, or an administrative law appeal before the National Court within two months (with the legal representation costs that this entails).

Who does it affect?

• Applicants included in the final list of admitted candidates to the selection process for professional and technical staff of the National Police Corps (January 2026 call).
• Applicants included in the final list of excluded candidates who wish to challenge their exclusion.
• Labor advisors and managers who accompany candidates in the process or in filing appeals.

Practical example

An applicant for a technical staff position at the National Police who lives in Seville and appears on the admitted list must:

1. Confirm their inclusion in the final list of admitted candidates published on June 3, 2026.
2. Book travel and accommodation in Madrid for the night of June 11, given that the exam begins at 09:00 hours on June 12.
3. Present themselves at the Training and Development Division, Plaza de Carabanchel nº5, Madrid, before 09:00 hours on June 12, 2026.
4. If they pass the first theoretical exercise, wait for the call for the second exercise (personal interview), which will be published at a later date.

If that same applicant had been excluded for failing to provide the required academic qualification and believes the error is the administration's, they have one month from June 3, 2026 to file an appeal for reconsideration with the General Directorate of Police, or two months to go directly to the National Court through an administrative law appeal.

What should applicants do now?

1. Verify your status in the final list published on June 3, 2026. Check if you appear as admitted or excluded and, in the latter case, the specific reason for exclusion.
2. If you are admitted, block June 12 in your calendar and organize travel to Madrid (Training and Development Division, Plaza de Carabanchel nº5) with sufficient margin to arrive before 09:00 hours.
3. If you were excluded and believe the exclusion is incorrect, act before the deadline expires: appeal for reconsideration within one month (from June 3, 2026) or administrative law appeal before the National Court within two months.
4. Prepare the supporting documentation you may need for the exam (ID, documentation required by the call) and consult it in the Resolution of January 9, 2026.
5. Keep an eye on the call for the second exercise (personal interview), which will be published after the results of the first theoretical exercise.
