Badajoz modifies the requirements for six Local Police positions in mobility

The Badajoz City Council has approved a decree modifying the rules of the call for the provision, as career civil servants, of six Local Police Officer positions, through a merit-based competition system in the mobility shift. The correction is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 160, dated August 21, 2026, under announcement 3341/2026, and corrects errors noted in the rules published in BOP number 152, dated August 11, 2026.

The call responds to the mandatory reserve limit of 20% for the mobility system established by article 55.4 of Law 7/2017, of August 1, on the Coordination of Local Police of Extremadura. The positions, vacant in the municipal staff, are classified under the Special Administration scale, Special Services sub-scale, Local Police class, Basic or Executive scale, Officer category, belonging to group C, subgroup C1.

The process is aimed at officers from other municipalities in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura who wish to transfer to the capital of Badajoz. Applicants must meet, among others, the following requirements:

• Be a career civil servant in a Local Police corps or staff of any municipality in Extremadura, with the category of Officer or Chief Officer.

• Special category large families and job seekers who prove their status will be exempt from payment.
• General category large families enjoy a 50% discount.

Assessment of merits

The maximum score for merits will be 10.25 points, distributed across several blocks:

• Professional experience: up to 4.00 points (0.025 per month, maximum 160 months in the Officer category).
• Continuous training: up to 3.00 points (0.001 per hour, maximum 3,000 hours).
• Family grouping and reconciliation: up to 1.50 points.
• Academic training: up to 1.00 point.

Relevance of the call

The modification of the rules opens the door for officers from across the region to apply for a destination in the capital of Badajoz, reinforcing the municipal workforce within a mobility framework regulated by Decree 64/2022, of June 8, of the Junta de Extremadura. The positions not filled by this shift will be added to the next open competitive examination, ensuring that the six vacancies are eventually filled. The decree is signed by the acting mayor, José Antonio Casablanca del Barco.
