The Berlin Police is facing difficulties in recruiting new officers due to high failure rates in the German language test. Around 40% of applicants fail the dictation and grammar section, leaving nearly 300 training positions unfilled last year. Police President Barbara Slowik Meisel attributes this to the high requirements necessary for the job, which involves daily communication with citizens and recording deployments in writing. Despite efforts to prepare applicants through social media clips and practice dictations, the failure rate remains high. The police president rules out lowering the requirements.
