translated via google translate.

The abuses at the Berlin Police Academy were so great that the Interior Senator sent a special investigator to the school. Now the new leader draws consequences - and uses the red pencil in English lessons.

Berlin's police students will in future learn less English and receive more German lessons to catch up on language deficits. This announced the new head of the so-called police academy, Tanja Knapp, in the Interior Committee of the House of Representatives.

"In the capital of course it makes sense that you can speak English with many tourists. But if the basic requirements in German are not so good, a concentration in German is indicated. "This is expected to be implemented on 1 March.

Knapp said that many police trainees "have basic language difficulties with spelling, punctuation and writing texts. And it's not easy to compensate for that during the training period ".

Nearly 2,500 young junior policemen are being trained by 230 teachers and lecturers at the Police Academy. Around 40 percent have a migration background, there are various degrees.

Alone for the middle service of the uniformed Schutzpolizei 1400 apprentices are registered in 56 classes. Most recently, problems such as lack of teachers, more frequent lesson and lack of discipline increased.
