British Police Demand Anyone That Wants To Join Must Learn Yoruba, Italian, by oladele97: 6:53am On Jul 21, 2015
Scotland Yard has come under fire today after
placing an advert demanding that anyone
wanting to join as a police officer be able to
speak a second language.
The Metropolitan Police wants to bolster the
number of officers able to speak and
understand 14 languages which are widely
used across London.
As part of a month- long trial which started
today , new recruits must speak English and
one of Yoruba (Nigeria ) , Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi ,
Punjabi , Italian, German , Turkish , Greek ,
Spanish , Polish, Portuguese , Sinhala (Sri
Lanka ) or Bengali to join as Met Police
officers.
But the move has sparked criticism from a
former officer and members of the public on
Twitter .
Retired Met Police officer Chris Hobbs wrote :
“I’ ve kept reading and re- reading it . Can’ t
believe it . What about potential BME (black and
minority ethnic) recruits who only speak
English. ”
He added: “ Won ’t this also adversely affect the
recruitment of guys and girls from the black
community whom we would like 2 [ sic] see
more of ?”
After Commissioner Bernard Hogan -Howe set
an ambitious target of having 40 per cent of all
officers from Black and Minority Ethnic
backgrounds , only 18 per cent met that criteria
when the latest intake passed out in March.

Most Nigerian criminals in London speak Yoruba, it makes sense for the Police to recruit Yoruba speaking officers.

This simply implies that the Metropolitan Police wants to keep an eye on criminals of Yoruba origin and other cases involving Yoruba's leaving London - especially Peckham.
