In late July 2026 the Junta de Extremadura approved a unified recruitment drive to fill 40 local‑police positions across 23 municipalities, replacing the previous town‑by‑town exam system with a single test and scheduling selection to begin in September 2026 and training in February 2027. A week later, in early August, the regional public‑service recruitment programme Plan Infoex announced a telephone‑call round to hire 18 forest‑firefighter drivers, with calls scheduled for 10 August and posts distributed across six coordination zones. Together the announcements show a continued effort by Extremadura authorities to streamline hiring and staff key safety‑related roles through centralized, cost‑saving recruitment methods.
