Tuineje Appoints Eight New Local Police Officers

Background

The Ayuntamiento of Tuineje has officially appointed eight new local police officers in practice as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen public safety.

This move follows a series of resolutions between 2024 and 2025 that expanded the police force, with the latest adding four more officers to the existing roster of four. The appointments come after the successful completion of a competitive selection process, where candidates were chosen based on their examination scores.

Training and Development

The newly appointed officers will begin their duties in a training phase, which includes:

• A basic course organized by the Canary Islands' Security and Emergencies Directorate.
• Supervised practical work to advance their professional development.

During this period, they will perform supervised practical work, advancing their professional development before becoming fully sworn officers.

Significance and Impact

This expansion is significant as it helps address staffing shortages and enhance law enforcement capacity in Tuineje.

"The move aligns with national policies aimed at increasing police personnel to ensure better community safety and crime prevention."

Residents can expect:

• More visible police presence
• Improved local security measures

This benefits both residents and visitors in this rapidly growing municipality.
