Marbella announces 26 Local Police vacancies with approved regulations

The Marbella City Council announces the provision of 26 Local Police positions, the largest police employment offer in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga (BOP) dated November 10, 2026. The rules of the call are inserted in the 2nd section of the gazette, reserved for city council announcements, under Edict 3920/2026. This same edict had already been published in the issue of October 21, 2026, meaning the rules are approved and the selection process is underway.

The November 10 issue gathers 21 announcements from city councils in the province, mostly regarding urban planning, budgetary, and tax matters. Among them, Marbella provides the most significant announcement regarding personnel: a call for 26 positions in the Local Police, well above the other security selection processes published that day.

The call is organized through the rules approved by the Marbella City Council, which the provincial gazette disseminates for general knowledge and to open the corresponding registration process. Edict 3920/2026 is, therefore, the official reference that applicants must use and the one that certifies the existence and scope of the offer.

The largest police offer of the issue

Of all the personnel announcements on November 10, the one from Marbella is the one that mobilizes the most positions at once: 26 posts in the municipal security force, with rules already published and the process open.

In the same gazette, the Málaga City Council announces the rules and call for 6 Local Police Intendant positions (Edict 4304/2026), meaning the two largest municipalities in the province are activating local security processes on the same date. The difference in scale is notable: four more positions in Marbella for every one in the capital, although they correspond to different categories.

The rest of the personnel processes in the issue are of much smaller scope:

• Marbella: 26 Local Police positions (Edict 3920/2026).
• Málaga: 6 Local Police Intendant positions (Edict 4304/2026).
• Antequera: 1 Computer Engineer position, OEP 2026 (Edict 4325/2026).
• Coín: 1 Employment Technician position via merit competition (Edict 4322/2026).
• Serrato: rules and employment pool for Accounting Administrative Assistant (Edict 3867/2026).

Background across the province

The Marbella call is not an isolated move. In the issue of October 21, 2026, the BOP had already included the same Edict 3920/2026 from Marbella and, additionally, the rules to fill 1 Local Police Sub-Inspector position in Estepona as a career civil servant (Edict 3766/2026).

That same day, the Marbella City Council also published a correction of a material error regarding the probationary appointment of 4 Firefighter Sergeant positions (Edict 3764/2026), confirming that the municipality is maintaining several fronts open to fill positions within its emergency and security services.

The reiteration of the edict in two different issues—October and November—allows for the tracking of the process in the provincial bulletin, which is the official channel for the publication of the rules and any possible corrections.

Who it affects

The call for applications is of interest to two well-defined groups:

• Applicants: those aspiring to join the Marbella Local Police must be guided by the rules of Edict 3920/2026, published in the BOP on November 10, 2026.
• Municipal staff: the incorporation of 26 personnel affects the internal organization of the force, the shifts, and the command structure of the local security service.
• Other city councils: the coincidence with the offers from Málaga and Estepona outlines a cycle of police staff renewal in the province.

The weight of the announcement

With 26 positions, Marbella concentrates the largest police employment offer of the day in the province of Málaga and one of the largest of the year among the municipal announcements in the bulletin. For applicants, Edict 3920/2026 is the decisive piece: it establishes the rules, organizes the process, and determines how to access one of the 26 positions. For the City Council, the call is the formal means of reinforcing a local security force in a municipality with a large population and high tourist activity. The process must be monitored via the BOP, the only medium where the rules and their modifications acquire official value.
