Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind our community to be mindful of hurricane season.

“Richland Parish took a big hit with Hurricane Laura, but we, as a community have come together and put the prices back together,” he said.

Chief Robinson advises to make sure that you have a hurricane plan in order. There is a popular belief that just because we live in north Louisiana, we will be out of harm’s way with a hurricane. Hurricane Laura proved that is not the case. If you go to https://checklist.com/hurricane-checklist/, this list will give you a breakdown what you need to do to plan for a hurricane.

Chief Robinson would also like to address that the Town of Rayville has an ordinance against loud music. 

In the town limits of Rayville, you can and will be arrested for loud music. Loud music will not be tolerated. If the Rayville Police Department receives a noise complaint and it is determined that you are in violation of the town ordinance you will be arrested, If you are driving a vehicle and an officer conducts a traffic stop for loud music you will be arrested. Loud music is a nuisance for the entire community. Chief Robinson asks that everyone respect your neighbors and other community members.

“It only takes a second to lower the volume,” he said. “If you fail to do that, you will be arrested.”
