BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
"As of late we've been having juveniles tampering with vehicles; and um, we just have to figure out how to deal with them and hopefully try to rectify the problem that they're having as far as having a relationship with law enforcement agencies."
According to Robertson, the Jeanerette Police Department recently 'raised the pay' as an incentive. Plus, they're willing to cover the costs of attending an academy, in order to secure the proper training necessary.
"There's some good police academies around here where they can get some really good training, you know. Especially for those who have no experience in law enforcement. We do everything we can to try to make this city a safe place to live, a safe place to walk the streets, a safe place for your children and grandchildren to grow up in."
