Santa Brígida Police Promotion Process Update

Announcement Details

The Santa Brígida town hall announced a correction to its 2025 police promotion process, which involves two vacancies for Local Police Officers. The update, issued via Decree 2025-1847 on November 28, clarifies important details about how vacancies can be accumulated and the requirements for applicants.

Key Changes and Regulations

• Significantly, the new guidelines allow vacancies to be increased by up to 10% due to retirements, deaths, or promotions, provided these occur between the call's approval and final grading publication.
• The regulation for this process now relies on the current laws — specifically Law 6/1997 and the recently enacted Decree 36/2024 — instead of the outdated Decreto 178/2006.

Application Requirements

• The updated documentation needed for applications emphasizes:
  • Passing physical and psychological fitness tests
  • Possessing appropriate driver’s licenses
  • Declaring no legal sanctions or disabilities that could hinder police duties

Selection Process Adjustments

• The rules for the selection tests have been fine-tuned:
  • The second practical exam now involves two cases instead of three.
  • It includes a detailed presentation and Q&A session lasting at least an hour.
  • The optional language exam is clearly described, allowing applicants to choose one foreign language (English, French, or German) to add extra points, thus improving final rankings.

Overall Impact

These adjustments aim to streamline the hiring process, making it clearer and more flexible, ultimately helping Santa Brígida fill key police roles more efficiently and transparently.

This matters for residents as it signals a committed effort to strengthen local safety and public service quality.
