Ferrol appoints seven career local police officers following the selection process

The Ferrol City Council has appointed seven local police officers as career civil servants, thereby integrating them into the municipal body’s personnel staff. The decision was adopted by the delegated councilwoman for the Area of Finance and Human Resources through a resolution dated October 15, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña no. 203, corresponding to Friday, October 23, 2026, under announcement number 2026/6827. The appointees have a period of one month from the date of publication to take office.

The resolution places the new personnel in the special administration scale, special services sub-scale, local police class and their assistants, basic scale, police category, group C, subgroup C1. The announcement was signed in Ferrol on October 20, 2026, by the delegated councilwoman for the area of Finance and Human Resources, Susana María Sanjurjo Fraga, acting under the delegation conferred by the agreement of the Local Government Board of January 22, 2024, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña no. 23 of January 31, 2024.

The published text limits its content to the appointment agreement and the publication order, without detailing the number of positions called for or the selection system used. The resolution exhausts the administrative route, meaning that an optional appeal for reversal may be filed against it within one month or, directly, a contentious-administrative appeal within two months.

Seven appointments in the basic scale

The list of persons appointed as career civil servants, with the order number assigned in each case, is as follows:

• Number 1: Yeray Arrivi Núñez.
• Number 2: Marcos Díaz Pérez.
• Number 3: Raquel Lorenzo Castro.
• Number 4: Diego Pena Lamigueiro.
• Number 5: Alfonso Pena Piñeiro.
• Number 6: David Sánchez Gutiérrez.
• Number 7: Bruno Seoane Núñez.

The announcement identifies each person by name and surnames and by the national identity document number, which appears partially hidden in the published text, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

One month to take office

The second point of the agreement establishes that the taking of office must be carried out within one month starting from the publication of the appointment in the provincial gazette. This period begins to count from October 23, the release date of number 203 of the A Coruña BOP.

The publication of the appointment is the procedure that gives effect to the status of career civil servant and opens the count for the effective incorporation into the service. The resolution also orders its publication in the official gazette as a means of general notification.

Other appointments in the same gazette

The same issue of the BOP includes two other incorporations into the local police in the province, reflecting a wave of officer appointments in different municipalities:

• Culleredo: two local police officers, group C1, appointed by resolution no. 2464 of the councillor delegated for Social Cohesion, Human Resources and Internal Regime of October 20, 2026, after passing the theoretical-practical selective training course at the Galician Academy of Public Security (announcement 2026/6849).
• Muros: two local police officers appointed by mayoral resolution number 895/2026 of October 13, 2026, published in BOP no. 200 of October 20 (announcement 2026/6663).

In the case of Culleredo, the announcement explicitly states that the appointment occurs after completing the training at the Galician Academy of Public Security, convened by the General Directorate of the aforementioned body, and details the appeals process against the resolution.

Impact for the service and for the applicants

The incorporation of seven personnel represents a reinforcement of the staff of the Ferrol Local Police, a body that provides citizen security services in the most populated municipality of the region. For the applicants who participated in the process, the publication closes the selection phase and opens the material deadline to join the position.

The relevance of the news is twofold: it consolidates seven people as career civil servants who until now did not have that status and, at the same time, marks the calendar they must follow to avoid losing the effects of the appointment. Any incident within the established one-month period may affect the effectiveness of the designation, so the announcement serves as an official reference for both the interested parties and the affected municipal services.
