Benalmádena publishes final list and tribunal for Local Police Inspector

The Benalmádena City Council has made public the final list of admitted and excluded candidates, along with the composition of the qualifying board, for the selection process convened to fill one position as Local Police Inspector. The resolution was announced through the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga on September 1, 2026, in the City Council’s announcements section, via Edict 3369/2026.

The publication of this final list represents a key step in the procedure, as it firmly establishes who is eligible to take the tests and who is excluded, as well as the collegiate body that will evaluate the applicants. Consequently, the process moves forward to the examination phase for the provision of a command position within the Local Police scale of the Costa del Sol municipality.

Final list of admitted and excluded candidates

The edict contains the final list of applicants admitted to and excluded from the selection process for the Local Police Inspector position. The “final” status implies that, once the allegations submitted during the correction period have been resolved, the list is firm and does not admit new additions except through the corresponding legal appeal.

• Admitted: applicants who meet the requirements of the call and are eligible to take the tests.
• Excluded: applicants who do not meet one of the required criteria or who did not correct deficiencies within the established timeframe.

Interested parties can consult the full details of the list on the notice board and the electronic office of the Benalmádena City Council, as well as in the official gazette itself.

Composition of the qualifying board

Along with the list of applicants, the edict publishes the composition of the board that will evaluate the selection process. This body will be responsible for assessing the competitive examination tests and proposing the list of successful candidates to fill the position.

The board will be composed, in accordance with standard practice in these processes, of technical personnel and officials appointed by the municipal corporation, ensuring the impartiality and objectivity required by public service regulations. The publication of its composition allows applicants to know in advance who will evaluate them and, if applicable, exercise the rights of recusal provided by law.

A selection process of interest for candidates

The call for a Local Police Inspector position in Benalmádena is part of the municipality’s public employment offer and is of particular interest both to candidates preparing for access to the Local Police command scale and to residents, who will see the command structure of the municipal security force reinforced.

The position of Inspector constitutes a role of responsibility within the executive scale of the Local Police, with functions of direction, coordination, and supervision of police services. Its filling by a career official, through a public and transparent selection process, guarantees the professionalization of the force and the quality of the service provided to the citizenry.

With the publication of the final list and the tribunal, the Benalmádena City Council clears the way for the holding of the tests, which will be announced with the regulatory notice. Admitted candidates must stay attentive to upcoming official communications to learn the dates, locations, and contents of the exercises.

The resolution of this process will allow the Benalmádena Local Police to be provided with a new middle management officer, at a time when the tourist municipalities of the Costa del Sol are reinforcing their security staff in view of the seasonal increase in population and activity. For the candidates, it represents an opportunity for access to a stable position in the local administration; for the residents, the guarantee of a better-structured police force with greater coordination capacity.
