Benidorm publishes the admitted and excluded candidates for 25 Local Police positions

The Benidorm City Council has approved the provisional list of persons admitted and excluded from the selection process to permanently fill 25 positions as Officers of the Local Police Force. The resolution is adopted via Decree No. 5082/2026, dated November 12, 2026, from the Department of Organization and HR Management, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante (BOP) No. 217, dated November 13, 2026, with official reference 8829/2026.

Twenty-five positions: fifteen open and ten for mobility

The call for applications divides the positions into two distinct shifts, with their own requirements and lists:

• Open shift: 15 positions as Local Police Officer.
• Inter-administrative mobility shift: 10 positions, reserved for career civil servants in the officer category.

The regulatory bases were published in BOP No. 72, dated April 15, 2025, and were subsequently modified in BOP No. 168, dated September 4, 2026. The announcement, digitally signed by the delegated councilwoman Ana Mª Soliveres Tomás on November 12, spans 18 pages of the gazette and includes the nominal lists of admitted and excluded candidates for both shifts, with the ID numbers partially hidden.

Ten business days to appeal or rectify

The decree orders the publication of the provisional list on the Notice Board of the Electronic Office, in accordance with the Sixth Base of the call. Interested parties have a period of 10 business days, counting from the day following the publication of the provisional list, to present allegations, claims, or rectify any rectifiable defects.

The text warns that those who do not rectify the exclusion or appeal the omission by justifying their right to be included within that period will be definitively excluded from the selection process.

Six reasons for exclusion

The announcement details the causes motivating the provisional exclusion of the applicants appearing on the list:

• Cause 1: failure to provide the “General Application for Selection Processes.”
• Cause 2: application not completed.
• Cause 3: failure to provide a photocopy of the DNI, passport, or NIE.
• Cause 4: failure to provide proof of fee payment, incorrect amount, or lack of accreditation for the applied discount.
• Cause 5: application submitted after the deadline.
• Cause 6: failure to prove status as a career civil servant in the officer category, an exclusive requirement for the mobility shift.

The lists record cases with a single cause as well as accumulations of several, such as references “1, 3, and 4” or “1, 4, and 6.” In the mobility shift, the most repeated reason is number 6.

Qualifying tribunal and advisors

The decree also designates the Technical Selection Body and the collaborating personnel:

• Presidency: Agustín Rubio López, Chief Inspector of the Local Police Force of the Finestrat City Council; substitute, Pedro J. Burrueco Gallardo, from La Nucía.
• Secretariat: Francisca Marín Navarro, Senior Legal Affairs Technician of the Benidorm City Council; substitute, Joaquina Felipe Sánchez, HR Medium-level Technician.
• Members: Carolina Casanova Mínguez (El Campello) and Raquel Orts Gregori (Polop); José Antonio Berbegal Leal (l’Alfàs del Pi) and Pedro Ortuño Santamaría (Villajoyosa); Enrique J. Tortosa Casado and Mª Consuelo Pérez Berenguer, officers of the force in Benidorm.
• Specialist Advisors: F. Javier Pérez Candel (height measurement); Leonardo Pérez Rijo, Alonso Pérez Pérez, J. Antonio Fernández Cantos, Robert Requena Albuixech and Alfonso Alonso Serrano (physical fitness); Juan Ramón Arnal Peiró and Carmina Claramonte Parra (psychotechnical); Mª Dolores Lillo Senac (knowledge of Valencian); and Avanta Prevención (medical examination).

The resolution also incorporates 14 people as auxiliary collaborating staff for the selection body, including Antonio Agulló García, F. Ángel González Gómez, Eduardo Martín Bontekoe, J. Manuel Cano Díaz, Manuel Caballero Nadal and J. Carlos Costa Gómez.

The publication affects hundreds of applicants from across the province and the staff of Alicante’s largest tourist municipality, which is reinforcing its Local Police with a mixed call: while the open entry track opens the door to new officers, the mobility track allows for the incorporation of personnel already in service in other localities. The calendar for the following phases is subject to the resolution of the appeals and the publication of the final list.
