Eight police students are now career civil servants of the Basic Scale

The Official State Gazette publishes this Monday, October 12, 2026, the Resolution of September 18, 2026, of the Secretary of State for Security, by which eight student police officers who have passed the regulatory selection process are appointed as career civil servants of the National Police, Basic Scale, Police category. The appointment appears in section II, Authorities and Personnel, with the official reference BOE-A-2026-21172. The interested parties acquire the status of civil servants once they formalize the oath or promise and the assumption of office in the position assigned to them.

The regulatory framework of the appointment

The resolution is based on Royal Decree 853/2022, of October 11, which approves the Regulation of Selection Processes and Training of the National Police, whose first transitional provision maintains the previous regulations for calls published before its entry into force. For these processes, Royal Decree 614/1995, of April 21, in its article 11, applies, along with Organic Law 2/1986, of March 13, on Security Forces and Corps, and Organic Law 9/2015, of July 28, on the Personnel Regime of the National Police.

The eight officers come from different calls: that of August 9, 2023 (BOE no. 214, of September 7), that of April 11, 2018 (BOE no. 94, of April 18, 2018), that of May 30, 2019 (BOE no. 133, of June 4, 2019), and that of August 27, 2020 (BOE no. 232, of August 29, 2020). Most were called to the course in execution of a judicial sentence.

Oath, taking of office and appeals

To acquire the status of career civil servant, the interested parties must take the oath or promise provided for in Royal Decree 707/1979, of April 5. The taking of office shall be formalized within the period and according to the prescriptions established by regulation, at the workstation assigned to them in accordance with current regulations.

Against the resolution, which ends the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed within one month before the issuing body, or direct challenge before the contentious-administrative jurisdictional order within two months. The text was signed in Madrid on September 18, 2026, by the Director General of Police, Francisco Pardo Piqueras, by delegation of the Secretary of State for Security (Order INT/985/2005, of April 7).

The incorporation of these eight officers closes selection files delayed by judicial resolutions and reconciliation leaves, and increases the Police category of the Basic Scale with already trained personnel. For readers, the announcement confirms that the generational replacement and the filling of vacancies in the National Police continue to be channeled through calls whose seniority and ranking are traced back to the original processes, with direct effects on the professional career of the new civil servants.
