British Metropolitan
Police Service, has launched a recruitment programme to employ new officers who
can speak Yoruba and other languages.
A total of 14 languages
which have a high prevalence in London’s communities, have been chosen for what
the Met called a month-long pilot recruitment, which started on Monday.
According to a
statement issued on Monday by the MPS, the move was designed to bring officers
into the Met with skills necessary to help the police and engage with London’s
diverse communities as effectively as possible.
The Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police, Bernard Howe, noted that more than 300 languages were
spoken in London, the capital of Britain.
