Individuals with HIV, diabetes, celiac disease, or psoriasis will no longer face automatic exclusion in the competitive examinations (“oposiciones“) for Local Police positions across the 45 municipalities of the Murcia region.
Modernizing the Selection Process for Policía Local
The Regional Ministry of Presidency, External Action and Emergencies, led by Marcos Ortuño, has initiated a public consultation on a draft decree aimed at updating the minimum criteria for entry and promotion within municipal police forces. These criteria have remained unchanged since 1990.The decree will also establish terms for the Community to manage these examinations in municipalities,reflecting the Ministry’s intention to standardize the “oposiciones” across all 45 municipalities.
The public participation process is now open on the Community’s openness Portal. until march 28, stakeholders can submit contributions and suggestions, which might potentially be incorporated into the final document.
outdated Regulations
Sources from the Regional Ministry of Presidency stated that the new decree aims to “update the minimum criteria to which the regulatory bases of the selection processes of the Local Police officials of the region must adhere, surpassing the regulation contained in the decree of 1990, which has clearly become outdated, and thus establishing a new regulatory framework that allows achieving the desirable uniformity in the basic criteria to which said processes must adhere,” according to the justification report.
The proposed modifications will affect the examination syllabus, “which in many respects has become outdated, containing references to repealed regulations or to matters that currently have less importance for the performance of the police function.” physical aptitude tests will also be revised to “guarantee equality in access to them for men and women.”
“with respect to the medical exclusion criteria for access to the local Police Forces, these must be reviewed considering the Agreement of the Council of Ministers of November 30, 2018, which approves instructions to update certain medical causes of exclusion in access to public employment,” the report notes. Specifically,the Council of Ministers’ agreement removed HIV,diabetes,celiac disease,and psoriasis from the generic medical exclusions for public employment.
Community to Oversee Examinations
“The description of the exercises to be carried out in the opposition phase, the determination of the merits assessable in the competition phase, or the content, structure and development of the selective courses also constitute matters that demand an updated regulation,” the Regional Ministry of Presidency, External Action and Emergencies added.
Unifying Criteria for Policía Local
The Presidency aims to establish a framework for assuming the management of Local police “oposiciones” in municipalities that request it. The Ministry notes that some autonomous communities have already implemented the management of local police “oposiciones” by the regional administration, “something that constitutes an effective instrument to guarantee the unity of criteria in all selective processes, both in what refers to the psychotechnical aptitude tests and to the development of the physical tests, medical examinations, etc.” “consequently, it is necessary to establish by regulation the terms in which said entrustment may be articulated by the town councils that voluntarily agree to do so,” the report emphasizes.
the decree is part of the regulatory development of the Law on Coordination of Local Police,in force as 2019. The Regional Ministry of Presidency is also working on regulations for weaponry, which will authorize the use of Taser guns.
