Thousands of Police Places Approved

The Spanish Government has approved the provision of 2,615 National Police and 1,734 Guardia Civil officers.

For the police, there will also be 125 new senior positions created, and there will be 250 internal promotions to manage the new intake.

The Police training college in Avila, the Escuela Nacional de Policía de Ávila, will return to operational capacity as before the financial crisis.

Recruitment for the police and domestic security services was blocked under the previous Mariano Rajoy led PP administration. Whilst the country is currently being run by a “caretaker” government following the elections in December, irrespective of potential political motivation, this is good news for the country as a whole.
