Brussels agent often does not speak Dutch

Flemings and Dutch people who have to deal with the Brussels police, should better speak a nice mouth of French, because four out of ten agents in the Belgian capital do not speak.

According to the law, the Brussels agents must be powerful in both French and Dutch, but their bilingualism declined again last year. This is mainly due to the recruitment of new agents, of whom only a minority speak French and Dutch. A vast majority of (98 percent) of the agents speak French.
