The officers will conduct local policing work, strengthening ties with the public and expanding and rejuvenating the staff making up the Barcelona City Police.

In this respect, over 60% of the new intake are aged between 26 and 35. Some 53% of them have pursued higher studies.

This new recruitment process began in June last year with competitive entry exams which attracted over 4,000 applicants. A further 1,000 places with the City Police are due to be offered through recruitment processes during this term of office.
