Guardamar appoints five temporary Local Police officers
The Generalitat lists a municipal recruitment process for 13 posts, while the PP says six permanent officers are leaving the town.
Five temporary officers took up their posts on Friday 16 October, joining the Guardamar del Segura Local Police. Their arrival comes as the Town Hall continues a recruitment process to fill officer posts.
The local PP says six officers with permanent posts are leaving the town and claims the force would be left with fewer than 15 armed officers. These figures come from the political party.
Valencian Law 17/2017 states that temporary officers may not carry firearms and limits their duties to areas such as administrative policing, guarding buildings, the environment, and traffic regulation and road safety. The law also sets requirements for these appointments, including that they be justified by proven reasons of urgency and need, and that the posts be included in a public-sector employment offer.
The Generalitat’s listing for the Guardamar recruitment process includes 13 posts: eight open-entry posts and five mobility posts. The call is at the stage of revising its terms. In January 2026, the initial notice in the BOE listed seven vacancies: four open-entry posts and three mobility posts.
In January 2025, the Town Hall set up a recruitment pool for possible temporary appointments to cover vacancies, staff replacements or other temporary needs. The SPOL Guardamar union, meanwhile, has linked the labour dispute to working conditions and the updating of the municipal list of jobs.
