The Fuengirola City Council has announced the call for fourteen new Local Police positions, eight of which are newly created. Two of the positions are reserved for military personnel with five years of service.
The Fuengirola City Council has put out to tender fourteen new Local Police positions, a measure with which the government team seeks to strengthen security services in the municipality. The mayor, Ana Mula, presented the call this Wednesday alongside the Councillor for Citizen Security.
Of the fourteen positions, eight are newly created. Twelve will be filled through open competitive examination and the other two through mobility without promotion via merit-based competition, reserved for professional military personnel from the Troops and Navy who can prove at least five years of service.
Mula reminded that reinforcing the police force was an electoral commitment: “Fuengirola is a safe and orderly city. A few months ago, I informed that we were going to take a series of measures to enhance security because for this mayor and her government team, security and order are absolute priorities.”
The new offer adds to the twelve agents who, after passing the last competitive examination, are finalising their training at the Andalusian Local Police School and are already doing internships in the force.
Currently, the Fuengirola Local Police has 146 agents, which means one police officer for every 581 inhabitants. This ratio improves upon the 667 recommended by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), and with the future incorporations, it will approach the levels set by the European Union.
The increase in police personnel is in addition to the 17 firefighters added in the last five years to the Fire Extinction and Prevention Corps, which now has 35 agents, the largest workforce in its 40-year history.
“We continue to fulfil and make progress on our commitments regarding security. To establish ourselves as an increasingly safe and orderly place,” concluded the mayor.
