Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind the citizens of Rayville to respect the rights and property of others. “Simple rule to abide by is this: If it doesn’t belong to you, don’t touch it without permission from the owner,” the chief said.
He also advised that if you are going to be away from home during the holidays, be sure to contact the the Rayville Police Department and submit a patrol request for your residence during your absence.
“If you call us and let us know when you are going to be out of town, my officers will patrol your home regularly during your absence,” he said.
Chief Robinson advised that if you know your neighbor is going to be away from home, you should keep an eye on their property and report any suspicious persons or activities to the Rayville Police Department immediately.
Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by the Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison St. or to call 728-4431 if you need his help in any way.
