How do you say ‘Wir Schaffen Das”, Angela Merkel’s favorite slogan, in Arabic? The Berlin police will find out soon enough.

Berlin is struggling to recruit enough police officers because applicants are unable to speak German, according to the force’s president.

Barbara Slowik Meisel revealed that 40 per cent of applicants failed a German language skills test.

Ms Slowik Meisel said the trend, driven by increasing numbers of migrant applications, had created a dilemma for the Berlin police department: it cannot lower its standards but also urgently needs officers.

“We have applicants, but we also have high standards that we cannot lower,” she told RBB, a German broadcaster. “[As police officers] we have to explain our police actions day in and day out … and also possibly document things in writing.”
