San Vicente de Alcántara announces four vacancies for Local Police officer

The City Council of San Vicente de Alcántara has announced four vacancies for Local Police officers through an open competitive examination system. The call was approved by Mayoral Resolution number 193, dated October 8, 2026, and the Official Gazette of Extremadura number 214, dated November 6, 2026, publishes the announcement providing official publicity under reference 2026081866. The announcement is signed by the mayor, Andrés Hernaiz de Sixte, and is dated October 28, 2026.

The full rules, in the provincial bulletin

The DOE announcement does not reproduce the articles of the process: it is limited to publicizing the call and referring to the full rules, which appear published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres number 200, dated October 19, 2026. It is in that text where the requirements for applicants, the exercises, the composition of the tribunal, and the rest of the procedure are detailed.

The essential data established by the announcement are as follows:

• Vacancies announced: four.
• Category: Local Police Officer.
• Selection system: open competitive examination.
• Calling body: City Council of San Vicente de Alcántara.
• Approval of rules and call: Mayoral Resolution number 193, dated October 8, 2026.
• Full publication of the rules: Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres number 200, dated October 19, 2026.

Twenty business days from publication in the BOE

The deadline for submitting applications is twenty business days and is counted from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official State Gazette (BOE). This point is decisive for interested parties, because the count does not start with the appearance of the announcement in the DOE, but with its insertion in the BOE, a mandatory procedure in local personnel selection calls.

Anyone aspiring to one of the four positions must, therefore, follow the state publication to know the exact date the deadline opens, and subsequently consult the provincial rules to gather the documentation and prove the requirements demanded in the call.

Successive announcements and electronic office

The announcement specifies that successive notices of the process—when applicable according to the rules—will be published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres and on the electronic office of the City Council of San Vicente de Alcántara (http://Sanvicentedealcantara.sedelectronica.es). On the other hand, it is not expected that the DOE will again record the different phases of the process.

The municipal call for applications proceeds independently of the unified process managed by the Junta de Extremadura through the Single Tribunal: San Vicente de Alcántara is not among the city councils included in the list of the Order of September 1, 2026, published in DOE number 170, of September 2, which calls for 35 Local Police Officer positions in Extremaduran municipalities. The general framework for these processes is Decree 64/2022, of June 8, which regulates the selection systems, the filling of positions, and the mobility of the Local Police of Extremadura.

Impact for candidates and municipal staff

The call opens a path of access to the local public service in a municipality that had not joined this year’s unified process. For candidates, it represents an additional opportunity for incorporation into the Officer category outside of the regional call, with its own rules and its own calendar. For the City Council, the incorporation of four officers directly affects the body’s staff and the capacity to provide service within the municipal district.
