This is a story I noted about a month ago and I asked Grok/AI to lay out references.
So reports in 2025 indicated that a significant portion of new Berlin police recruits require additional German language training due to insufficient proficiency.
Back in the spring of 2025, out of 240 cadets who began training, 132 of them (around 55-percent) needed remedial German classes, particularly in written skills, during their first semester. (brusselssignal.eu)
What the leadership has said? It's a repeating issue....affecting about half of new entrants on average, and attributed it to broader societal trends like declining language abilities, teacher shortages, and increased classroom diversity rather than a problem unique to the force. (brusselssignal.eu)
Oddly, the requirement now mandates that recruits in training....must ultimately reach C2-level fluency (near-native proficiency) before graduating.
Odds of this occurring across all sixteen states? Well....no one says that. I would imagine have some issue brewing and quietly mandate additional language classes.
