Last week, Calpe Town Council began a new phase in the selection process to recruit new officers to the Local Police Force with the aim of strengthening the workforce and security in the municipality. The physical entrance tests were held from Monday to Wednesday with 340 candidates taking part, of whom 175 successfully passed.
The Council is offering 11 places on a first-come, first-served basis. The Town Council has welcomed the high number of participants in this phase of the process, which is now moving on to the second phase with theoretical and psychometric tests until the competitive examination process is complete.
According to Guillermo Sendra, Councillor for Public Safety, ‘this measure is part of the municipal government's commitment to increasing the human resources of the police force, with the aim of continuing to offer citizens and visitors more effective and closer attention in terms of safety and collaboration. This reinforcement of the workforce goes hand in hand with an increase and improvement in the material resources of this vital professional service’. This call for applications represents another step towards a safer Calpe, in line with the municipality's strategic security and prevention plans.
