The Mijas Town Hall has launched a new call for applications to strengthen the Local Police force with a total of 13 positions, ten of which are for new recruit officers and three for senior officers to be promoted from within the force. This measure aims to strengthen security, ensure the operational continuity of the service, and maintain a solid and balanced command structure.
These positions will fill existing vacancies in the workforce, ensuring, according to the Town Hall, "that the force maintains its full capacity across all areas of the municipality". Currently, the Mijas Local Police has 144 officers and commanders, of whom 121 are basic-level police officers. Once the process is complete, the force will have 131 active officers, while maintaining the number of commanders through internal promotion to replace those due to retire.
