Strengthening security in the Pitiusas Islands
The new agents will now begin their internship phase in the different municipalities of Ibiza and Formentera, with a minimum duration of six months and a maximum of one year.

The remaining six, having passed the competitive examination without obtaining a position, will be incorporated into a temporary employment pool to cover needs in the different municipalities.
With this promotion, the police staff on the islands is reinforced, a key aspect to face the high season, when the demand for agents increases significantly.
