Former San Francisco police officer Joel Aylworth joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the findings that the police department is not properly vetting new recruits.
"I was never allowed these things," Aylworth said Monday."I mean, the background process is very intense. It's about a six month to a year process. I mean, how does someone just [go], 'Oh, I don't know how the psych eval got lost.' Like, that's impossible because that person has to tell your background investigator before you can go on. So how any of this is even possible? I have no idea.
Aylworth said the SFPD training staff was consistently told to"lower the standards" for new recruits in recent years.
