Eduard Sallent joins a security consultancy after leaving the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police force).
The former head of the Catalan police will go on to work at SIMA Consulting, of which he is a founding partner.
Eduard Sallent, former head of the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) in two separate periods, will now work at SIMA Consulting, a consulting firm he co-founded. This comes after news broke a few days ago that The commissioner had requested a leave of absence. And after it was announced that he would leave the Catalan police force in a few weeks, his new posting has now been revealed. According to the consulting firm itself, which specializes in strategy, crisis management, and communication, among other areas, Sallent will lead projects related to corporate strategy and complex risk management. The former police chief, who had commanded the South Metropolitan Police Region since 2024, will share leadership of the project with Raül Murcia, the firm's current CEO. Sallent had led the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) in two different periods: first during Quim Torra's government and then during Pere Aragonès's. When Salvador Illa's PSC (Socialist Party of Catalonia) came to power in Catalonia, the new Minister of the Interior, Núria Parlon, and the new Director of the Police, Josep Lluís Trapero, dismissed him and appointed Commissioner Miquel Esquius in his place.
