Officers who are "functionally illiterate in English" are being accepted into the Metropolitan Police, His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary Matt Parr has warned. Mr Parr said it was right that ambitious recruitment targets were being set but added that it shouldn't be at the expense of standards, The Telegraph report. He warned that the force is at risk of "recruiting the wrong people" but said Commission Mark Rowley has made it clear he wants to “dial down the requirement to meet those targets" to ensure the right people are recruited.
