Oviedo appoints two commissioners and two Local Police inspectors

The Oviedo City Council has appointed two commissioners and two inspectors of the Local Police through separate Mayoral resolutions, according to the edict published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias (BOPA), no. 200, dated October 15, 2026, section IV (Local Administration, City Councils), with official reference Code 2026-08162. The four appointments were resolved via the internal promotion track, and the assumption of office was staggered between July 2 and September 14, 2026.

The edict, signed in Oviedo on September 28, 2026, by the Councilor for Personnel Government, details that the proposals were formulated by the Qualifying Tribunals corresponding to the selection processes. The appointments were implemented through two Mayoral resolutions: 2026/10978, dated June 29, 2026, and 2026/14701, dated August 27, 2026.

The four appointments

The edict lists by name the four promoted officials, along with their category, the resolution supporting them, and the date they took office:

• Jacobo Fernández Pérez — Local Police Commissioner, resolution 2026/10978, took office on 07/02/2026.
• Débora Torreira Ortiz — Local Police Commissioner, resolution 2026/10978, took office on 07/02/2026.
• Víctor Manuel Menéndez López — Local Police Inspector, resolution 2026/14701, took office on 09/14/2026.
• Iván García Suárez — Local Police Inspector, resolution 2026/14701, took office on 09/14/2026.

Positions filled and public employment offers

The two commissioner appointments correspond to two Local Police Commissioner positions within the staff of officials of the Oviedo City Council, under the internal promotion track, linked to the 2024 public employment offer.

The inspector appointments are part of four Local Police Inspector positions within the municipal staff, also under the internal promotion track, corresponding to the public employment offers of 2024 and 2025.

Processing and effects

The publication in the BOPA provides official publicity to assumptions of office that have already taken effect: the two commissioners took office on July 2, 2026, just three days after the Mayoral resolution that appointed them, while the two inspectors did so on September 14, 2026, following the resolution at the end of August.

The edict closes with the signature of the Councilor for Personnel Government in Oviedo, dated September 28, 2026, and the reference Code 2026-08162, which identifies the announcement within the regional gazette.

The filling of these four positions consolidates the command structure of the Oviedo Local Police across two key scales—commissioners and inspectors—and directly affects the professional career of the municipal staff, who access these positions exclusively through internal promotion. For the citizenry, the reinforcement of middle and upper management impacts the organization of the security service and the operational coordination capacity of the force.
