'Disruptive Behavior' By RVC Youth Leads To Stricter Measures: Police

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — The Rockville Centre Police Department is increasing an increase in "disruptive behavior from some of our village's youth," Commissioner Randy Dodd said in a letter to parents.

Dodd said these incidents involved damage to public and private property. He said they would also stop traffic by biking dangerously on the roads.

The commissioner said the department is implementing stricter measures to ensure the safety of the community.

"Any youth found engaging in disruptive behavior will be taken to the police station," Dodd said.

But to avoid that happening, parents are encouraged to speak to their children "about the importance of respecting others, following the rules and understanding the consequences of their actions," Dodd said.
