Benicarló appoints two Local Police inspectors through a competitive examination process

The Benicarló City Council has completed the selection process to permanently fill two Local Police Inspector positions and has appointed the two successful candidates as career civil servants. The appointment is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Castellón number 118, dated October 1, 2026, under official reference 04249-2026-U, within the Local Administration section. The resolution concludes a competitive examination process carried out in compliance with the ordinary Public Employment Offer of 2022.

Regulatory Framework and Origin of the Positions

The two called positions correspond to the Special Administration Scale, Special Services Subscale, Local Police Class, Technical Scale, Group A, Subgroup A2. One was filled via the internal promotion track and the other via the open track, both through a competitive examination system.

The call stems from the ordinary Public Employment Offer of 2022, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Castellón number 152, dated December 20, 2022. The appointment is formalized in compliance with the provisions of article 62.1.b) of Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the revised text of the Basic Statute of Public Employees Law, and article 68.1.b) of Law 4/2021, of April 16, of the Valencian Public Service.

The Two Appointments

The announcement details the identity of the two new career civil servants, indicating the position, the subgroup, and the resolution supporting each designation:

• Cheto Vargas, Victor Manuel (ID *8975), via internal promotion, Local Police Inspector position, subgroup A2, by Resolution of the Councilor-Delegate for Human Resources no. 2691, dated July 19, 2026.
• Gash Gargallo, Juan (ID *6841), via open track, Local Police Inspector position, subgroup A2, by Resolution of the Councilor-Delegate for Human Resources no. 3561, dated September 22, 2026.

Both appointments refer to positions within the same scale, subscale, and class, with identical professional classification in Group A, Subgroup A2.

Processing and Signature

The announcement is made public “for general knowledge” and was digitally signed in Benicarló on September 28, 2026, by the Councilor-Delegate for Human Resources, Álvaro Luis París Sánchez, by virtue of the delegation of powers granted by Mayoral decree on September 18, 2025.

The publication in the official gazette closes the appointment phase and validates the status of the two new inspectors as career civil servants vis-à-vis third parties.

Impact

With these two appointments, the Benicarló City Council reinforces the command structure of its Local Police, gaining two command positions with the rank of inspector in the technical scale. The simultaneous filling of these positions through internal promotion and open competition allows, on one hand, to recognize the trajectory of a member of the own staff and, on the other, to incorporate external talent—a common formula for consolidating police forces without sacrificing internal professional career growth.
