Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson stated that one of his primary objectives is now and has always been to maintain the peace and safety of the streets of Rayville for all citizens. 

Chief Robinson also advised that there is never a good reason to resort to physical violence to resolve a dispute.

“I have said that we have a zero tolerance for fighting in the town of Rayville. If you do fight, then you are not going to just walk away without consequences,” he said. “It is best to avoid confrontation. Walk away and allow my officers to handle it. I can say, think before you react because for every action there comes a reaction.”

The chief also asks that you respect the peace of others by not playing your music too loudly.

“I have asked my officers to work on this. So please adhere to the peace of others,” he said.

Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison Street or to call 318-728-4431 if you need his help in anyway.
