La Roda: 232 applicants for three Local Police positions

The La Roda City Council has closed the final list of applicants for the three Local Police officer positions called via open competition: 232 people admitted and none excluded. Mayoral Resolution 1088/2026, dated November 6, approves this list along with the composition of the qualifying tribunal and the date of the first test, which will be held on November 13, 2026, at 9:00 AM. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 130, dated November 9, 2026, in the third section (Local Administration), with official reference 30.933.

Framework of the selection process

The positions correspond to the Local Police Force of La Roda and are integrated into the career civil servant staff of the Most Excellent City Council of La Roda (Albacete). The access system is open competition, in accordance with the governing rules of the call, which regulate the requirements (second rule), the tribunal (fifth rule), the development of the tests (sixth rule), and subsequent documentation (ninth rule).

The resolution warns that appearing on the list of admitted persons does not imply the recognition of possessing the requirements demanded in the second rule. If the examination of the documentation reveals that any person lacks them, they will forfeit their right to be appointed as a career civil servant.

The final list of admitted applicants covers 232 candidates, while in the excluded section, the announcement expressly states: “There are no excluded applicants.”

The selection body is composed of the following members, with their respective substitutes:

• Presidency: Juan Luis Escudero Escudero, sub-inspector of the Local Police of La Roda; substitute Juan Francisco Atienzar Garrido, officer of the same force.

The designated persons may be challenged with justification in accordance with articles 23 and 24 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector.

Physical fitness in two sessions

The first test of the process, physical fitness, will take place at the new Maracañí football field in La Roda, located behind the municipal sports field (avenida de Castilla-La Mancha, 65), according to the following schedule:

• Friday, November 13, 2026, at 9:00 AM: single call from Quevedo Galán to Espinosa Díaz.
• Monday, November 16, 2026, at 9:00 AM: single call from Estrada Jiménez to Privado Álvarez.

The order of appearance begins with persons whose first surname starts with the letter “Q”, according to the resolution of 11/26/2025 of the General Directorate of the Civil Service of the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha. Each applicant must present a medical certificate on official letterhead, issued no more than thirty business days prior to the date of the test, and arrive provided with a DNI or identity document.

Appeal deadlines

Against the resolution, which ends the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed within one month from the day following its publication before the same body that issued it. A contentious-administrative appeal may also be filed within two months before the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Court of First Instance of Albacete, according to articles 112 et seq. of Law 39/2015 and 46 et seq. of Law 29/1998. The announcement is also disseminated on the notice board of the municipal electronic headquarters, and the document appears signed by the mayor, Juan Ramón Amores García.

The publication closes the admission phase and starts the countdown for the 232 candidates: only four days separate the final list from the first physical exercise, which will provide the initial screening for the three officer positions. For the municipality, the process means advancing in filling three vacancies in its police force, while the applicants face a double appointment on the calendar and the obligation to have the medical certificate and DNI to avoid being excluded from the test.
