Balaguer appoints two interim Local Police officers by decree

The Paeria de Balaguer has appointed two agents as interim civil servant personnel for the municipality’s Local Police – Urban Guard Corps. The decision is contained in Mayoral Decree number 2026-2020, dated October 27, 2026, and was made public in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida no. 215, dated November 10, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_215_9300 and publication date on page 1 of the edition.

The edict, included in the Local Administration – City Councils section, is titled “Appointment of interim civil servants” and is limited to making public the names and administrative conditions of the two additions. The text notes that the publication is made “for general knowledge and in compliance with article 104.3 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulating the Bases of Local Regime,” the regulation that mandates official publicity for the appointments of interim civil servant personnel of local entities.

Two names for the same category

The decree affects two people, both with the category of Agent and assigned to the municipal citizen security corps:

• Roger Orteu Palau, appointed as an interim civil servant, Agent category, of the Local Police – Urban Guard of Balaguer Corps.
• Alba Cortina Mayoral, appointed as an interim civil servant, Agent category, of the same corps.

Both appointments correspond to positions in the special administration scale, special services sub-scale, Local Police class – Basic scale, according to the classification contained in the decree itself.

Administrative conditions of the appointment

The announcement details identical conditions for the two incorporated agents, which can be summarized in the following points:

• Full-time workday, without any reduction or part-time reservation.
• Assignment to professional classification group C, subgroup C1, according to the applicable professional classification.
• Special administration scale and special services sub-scale.
• Local Police class – Basic scale, typical of agents joining a local police corps.

The edict does not include information regarding the previous selection process, the duration of the appointments, or the assigned remuneration, aspects that do not appear in the text published in the provincial gazette and therefore cannot be detailed from this source.

Official publication and signature

The document appears electronically signed by the Paera en cap, Lorena González Dios, and can be verified through the electronic administration platform of the Paeria de Balaguer indicated at the bottom of the announcement. The publication in the BOP of Lleida on November 10, 2026, makes the appointment an act with official publicity effects before third parties.

The appointment of interim local police officers is a common formula in the provincial bulletin: in previous weeks, several town councils in the Lleida district have published similar decrees to fill positions of the same category within the Local Police force.

Why it is relevant

The appointment of two interim officers has a direct effect on the public security workforce of Balaguer, one of the county capitals of the Lleida plain, and comes after a period of frequent publications of police vacancies in the province. For residents, it represents a reinforcement of the Guàrdia Urbana service; for candidates and sector professionals, it confirms that the filling of vacancies in the Balaguer Local Police is currently being done through interim appointments and not through a new selection process published in the bulletin.
