149 new trainee inspectors of the National Police: mandatory incorporation on September 3, 2026

Key data

The 149 applicants who passed the opposition phase for Inspector of the National Police, called on July 31, 2025, now have an official name: trainee inspectors of the Executive Scale. The Resolution of July 1, 2026 from the General Directorate of the Police, published in the BOE on July 7, 2026, formalizes the appointment and sets the date for incorporation into the National Police School of Ávila.

Additionally, the resolution includes an applicant incorporated by court order from the 2022 call, which raises the total number of people affected by this process to 150.

What does this regulation establish?

The General Directorate of the Police formalizes three specific decisions through this resolution:

• Official appointment: The 149 applicants approved in the opposition phase of the call of July 31, 2025 are appointed as trainee inspectors of the Executive Scale, Inspector category.
• Summons for the training phase: Incorporation into the National Police School of Ávila is mandatory on September 3, 2026 at 10:00 hours. The first course is conducted in boarding regime.
• Exception to boarding: Those who already completed the Basic Scale in boarding regime may request day attendance. The deadline to do so is 15 calendar days from the publication of the resolution.
• Judicial case: An applicant admitted by court order from the 2022 call is also incorporated, with the same effects as the rest.
• Consequence of non-compliance: Failure to incorporate without justified cause implies the loss of all rights derived from having passed the opposition. There is no second chance.
• Available remedies: Against the resolution, a motion for reconsideration may be filed within one month, or an administrative contentious action within two months.

Economic and operational impact

For the applicants themselves, the impact is immediate and of great personal and professional significance. Appointment as a trainee inspector does not yet equate to the status of a career civil servant: that status is acquired upon completing the training phase at the National Police School.

During the boarding period in Ávila, applicants must plan their personal, work, and financial situation, as the boarding regime implies residence at the center during the first course. Those who have the right to request day attendance—by having already completed the Basic Scale in boarding regime—must act within 15 calendar days from publication (that is, before approximately July 22, 2026), as after that deadline they will not be able to take advantage of this option.

From the Administration's perspective, this process involves the incorporation of 149 new inspectors into the structure of the National Police once they complete their training, strengthening the Executive Scale with new generation personnel.

Who does it affect?

• Applicants approved in the opposition phase of the call of July 31, 2025 for admission to the Executive Scale, Inspector category, of the National Police (149 people).
• Applicant incorporated by court order from the 2022 call (1 additional person).
• Applicants with the right to day attendance: Those who already completed the Basic Scale in boarding regime and wish to request day attendance for the first course in Ávila.
• Opposition advisors and trainers who manage the follow-up of their students in this selection process.
• Units and positions of the National Police that will receive these new inspectors once the training phase is completed.

Practical example

Imagine an applicant who passed the opposition phase of the July 2025 call and who also previously completed the Basic Scale in boarding regime at the National Police School of Ávila.

This applicant now has two urgent decisions:

1. Request day attendance within 15 calendar days from the publication of the resolution (published on July 7, 2026), that is, before approximately July 22, 2026. If not requested on time, they must complete the first year in boarding regime with no possibility of later claim.
2. Present themselves at the National Police School of Ávila on September 3, 2026 at 10:00 hours, regardless of the regime (boarding or day attendance) granted to them. If they do not appear without justified cause, they will lose all rights derived from having passed the opposition, which means they cannot be incorporated as an inspector either in this or in any later phase of this selection process.

In the case of the applicant incorporated by court order from the 2022 call, the effects are identical: they must incorporate on the same date and under the same conditions as the rest.

What should those affected do now?

1. Confirm the appointment: Verify in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-14662, published on July 7, 2026) that the full name appears in the appointment resolution as a trainee inspector.
2. Request day attendance if applicable: If the Basic Scale was completed in boarding regime and you wish to opt for day attendance for the first course, submit the request within 15 calendar days from publication (approximate deadline: until July 22, 2026). After that deadline, there is no possibility of taking advantage of this option.
3. Plan the incorporation: Organize your personal, work, and logistical situation to be present at the National Police School of Ávila on September 3, 2026 at 10:00 hours. Failure to appear without justified cause implies the loss of all rights from the selection process.
4. Consider remedies if applicable: If you believe the resolution contains any error or irregularity that affects your rights, file a motion for reconsideration within one month or an administrative contentious action within two months from publication.
5. Prepare required documentation: Contact the National Police School of Ávila to learn about incorporation requirements (documentation, equipment, etc.) before September 3, 2026.
