Two distinct judicial rulings, issued within a week, have supported the actions of the Local Police chief of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Isidro Armas, against lawsuits filed by the Independent and Civil Servants Union (CSIF). Both decisions dismiss the contentious-administrative appeals filed against appointments made by the head of the force in the exercise of his duties.

The first ruling, issued on May 27, 2026, by Judge Ángel Teba, head of Court of First Instance number 5 (contentious-administrative section), overturned CSIF's request to annul the appointment of an officer to a police unit. The judge determined it was a service roster, not a formal resolution, and that the chief's action was due to insufficient staff, requiring officers to perform higher-category duties for which they would be compensated. The selection was deemed not arbitrary but based on rank or seniority, with no indication of abuse of power.

Following similar reasoning, on June 2, 2026, Judge Olimpia del Rosario Palenzuela, head of Court number 3, rejected CSIF's appeal against the appointment of an officer as head of the Animal Welfare unit for the same period. Unlike the previous ruling, which is final, this one allows for further appeal.

The Security Councilor, José Carlos Álamo, emphasized that these sentences validate the "good management of the service" against what he considers "complaints from a single union."
