SPAIN

POLICE
SYSTEM
 SPAIN
 has a high ratio of police officers to inhabitants and
three police forces, often with confusing and
overlapping roles, although the government plans
to amalgamate the three forces to improve co-
ordination and make better use of skills and
resources.

Three police forces

1.Municipal Police 2. National Police
3. Civil Guard
 Municipal Police

with a population of over 5000.

chequered bands on their hats and
sleeves, and usually patrol in white or blue
cars.

 Deal with minor crime such as traffic

control, protection of property, civil
disturbances and the enforcement of
municipal laws.
 National Police

 replaced the despised armed police (policia

armada).

 Policia armada were much hated and feared,

but the national police are now quite popular.

 they’re stationed in towns with a population of

over 20,000 and deal with serious crime such as
theft, rape and muggings and are also used to

station. . .

urban areas.

on motorcycles (which operate in pairs), and
deal with road accidents.

frontier guards and use helicopters to
combat crime.

efficient police forces and have a
reputation for honesty and courtesy.

 Age of retirement
 MADRID — Spain’s government and main labor unions agreed on
Thursday to raise the retirement age as part of an overhaul of the
country’s pensions system, averting threatened organized protests
and responding to investors who have been demanding that Spain
clean up its public finances.
 After a year of negotiations, the draft deal ensures that Spain’s
normal retirement age will rise to 67 from 65.
 As part of a compromise, however, the government agreed that
workers could retire at 65 if they had contributed to the state
pensions system for at least 38.5 years.
 The agreement is also intended to cut the cost of future pension
payments by basing the calculation for such payments on a worker’s
last 25 years of earnings, rather than the 15 years under current law.
 Pension age in Spain
 The current pension age in Spain is 65 years and six months
for both men and women, a figure that will rise
incrementally to 67 years by 2027.
 Retirement will still be possible from 65 years, however, if
you have paid 36-and-a-half years of social security
contributions.
 You can retire two years before state pension age (or four
years if you have been dismissed), as long as you have at
least 33 years of contributions.
 If you have a disability or work in certain jobs with high
hazard rates, you may be able to claim a full Spanish
pension from age 60, or as low as age 52 in some
situations.
SALARY
 As a Police Officer typically earns around 2,461
EUR per month.

 Range between 1,009 EUR per month (minimum

salary) to 3,790 EUR per month (maximum salary)

 Median salary is 2,559 EUR per month

half (50%) of people working as PO earning less
