A class of 27 new police recruits will graduate from the Toronto Police College Thursday. They will possess an array of language and professional skills worthy of a City like Toronto. A release says that the class is 18.5 percent women and 22 percent visible minority members. A total of 96% successfully completed post-secondary education and 41 percent have previous military or policing experience. The majority of the class speak a language other than English. Some of them are Arabic, French, Portuguese, Urdu, Hindi, Macedonian, Punjabi, Turkish, Japanese, Dari and Farsi. That’s at noon at the Toronto Police College, 70 Birmingham Street.
