Everyone must submit himself to the (police), for there is no
(police) except that which God has established. The (police) that
exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels
against the (police) is rebelling against what God has instituted,
and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For (the
police) hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do
wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the (police)? Then do
what is right and they will commend you. For (the police) are God's
servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for (the
police) do not bear the sword for nothing. (Police) are God's
servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the (police), not only
because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This
is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants,
who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe
him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if
respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Oxygen's© Snapped aired the Darlene Gentry trial
on April 20, 2008. Robinson resident Darlene Gentry was sentenced to 60
years in a State of Texas prison in 2007 after being found guilty for the
shooting death
of Keith Gentry, 31, father of the couple’s three young sons.
Update: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld Darlene Gentry's
conviction and sentence of 60 years in prison.
Most people only meet an officer when they
are arrested, questioned, or cited. That makes it hard for them
to like cops.

Meeting the high expectations to which
people hold police officers is a tall order. To do so an
officer must fix any problem immediately, including
longstanding relationship and substance abuse issues. The
officer must also utilize high-tech tools to find and
examine evidence even for minor crimes, not speak in any way
harshly, and leave even a person who hates anyone in uniform
with a smile.

Law enforcement requires
cracking down on those who break the law. This
inherently creates opposition, if not outright
enemies. People who have never worn the badge can
never truly understand what it is to be a police
officer. Sometimes this lack of understanding leads
to unrealistic expectations. Other times it leads to
outright hatred for anyone in uniform.

Most Common Questions Asked
Question: Is there a citation quota, and are
Robinson officers required to write a minimum number of citations,
weekly, monthly, yearly etc.?
Answer: No. The Robinson Police Department does not
have a citation quota or a "mark" system where officers are
evaluated on traffic enforcement according to how many citations
they write. In fact, over half the citations written or
violators stopped by Robinson
police officers are given written or verbal warnings.
Although traffic law enforcement is important in terms of preventing
hazardous violations such as D.W.I., fatalities, personal injuries,
and property damage; unlike the Texas Department of Public Safety,
Robinson police officers day to day duties are not devoted primarily
to traffic law enforcement.
The police department philosophy is to encourage motorists to comply
with traffic laws, not to necessarily generate revenue for the city.
Question: I'm leaving town for a few days. Will police
officers watch my property while I am away?
Answer: Yes. Please come by the police department
prior to your departure date and tell us when you will be gone and
where you can be reached in the event of an emergency. The Police
Department will arrange for extra patrol of your premises while you
are away. However, we cannot guarantee that your property will not
be a victim of crime while you are away.
Why Do Police Pick Up Garage Sale Signs?
Under the direction of the City Council,
the City of Robinson is dedicated to making Robinson a
beautiful place to live. In helping to accomplishing
this, the Robinson Police Department is tasked with
enforcing the City's ordinances which include enforcing
the garage sale sign ordinance. This effectively helps
prevent the proliferation of garage sale signs placed
improperly in Robinson.
Robinson recognizes the need for these signs. T hree
reasons to regulate garage sale signs are to preserve
and improve the visual quality of Robinson, to eliminate
hazards to pedestrians and motorists brought about by
the distraction of signs, and to ensure compatibility
with adjacent and surrounding areas.
When garage sale signs are posted illegally, the police
department will remove signs that are not in compliance
with the Code of Ordinances. Removed garage sale signs
can be recovered at the police department within 24
hours of their being removed.

"It is not the critic
who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or
where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs
to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust
and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short
again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at the best knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at
least fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
