Moroccan men to teach Spanish police officers Arabic. Casablanca – Raja Battoui Morocco\'s Director of National Security Bouchaib Rmail has struck a deal with his Spanish counterpart Ignacio Cosido for Moroccan men to teach Spanish police officers Arabic.The campaign is significant as the need for police officers who understand the Arabic language increases. This comes in an attempt to facilitate follow-ups of crimes committed in Spain by immigrants of Arab nationalities, and on the border with Morocco. The security used Moroccans who live in Ceuta and Melilla for translation, taking advantage of their familiarity with Spanish and English, as well as local dialects.
It was agreed that the teaching process will take place at the \"Avila\" school northwest of Madrid, starting from the next school year, and Moroccan professors will assume the task. The two parties also agreed in return to rehabilitate Moroccan police officers at the same Spanish School, which is globally one of the largest schools for police officers for combating militancy and organised crime related to drugs and money laundering.
According to the statement of the Spanish authorities, the two parties agreed on enhancing cooperation and coordination, and will exchange information to combat crime across borders. The statement said that the Moroccan and Spanish officials addressed many issues, especially those of security cooperation between the two countries in order to fight militancy, drug-trafficking, organised crimes, illegal immigration, and human trafficking networks.
The General Director of Spanish Security described the ongoing cooperation between Morocco and Spain in the field of security as \"excellent.\" He confirmed that Morocco was very important to achieve the security of Spain.
He added that such \"fruitful\" cooperation focuses on fighting crime.
The Moroccan security delegation led by Bouchaib Rmail visited Madrid over the past three days to handle critical security issues on the border, and to intensify cooperation between the Moroccan security and its Spanish counterpart. He visited several security centres, including the one at Canias, and various police stations in the city of Avila, the headquarters of the Spanish police units, the special units of intervention and the Spanish police squad specialised in explosives.
