There shouldn't be a problem with an NIE, but it's not Playa Flamenca police office - it's the office of the national police in Playa Flamenca town hall.

You'll have to ask them if an appointment is necessary. 

For what's required, just look at my guide - Ray gave the link for it above.

If you're now resident here, you can just apply for residency, and an NIE number will be allocated as part of that process.

I said in my guide:

If you live anywhere near the consulates in London or Edinburgh, then this is far and away the easiest way of doing it.
