DC Mojib Benhakim – the first Moroccan-born officer to join the RGP 19th April 2021 Having arrived in Gibraltar from Tetuaon, Morocco, as a 13-year-old, unable to speak a word of English or Spanish, DC Mojib Benhakim later became the first Moroccan-born officer to qualify as an officer in the Royal Gibraltar Police. “When I arrived, I only spoke Arabic and French so I did not do well in my 3 years at school and, as a result, I joined the Training Centre. However, during my time there, I always felt discontented with what I had achieved in life, knowing that I had yet to reach my full potential and my desire to find an employment where I could help others.”
