Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to address the holiday shopping season. 

“Please remember that we are still in the battle with COVID-19,” he said. “Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards has extended Phase 3 in our state until at least December 4, 2020. During your holiday shopping please remember to observe social distancing and remember to wear your mask. Also, keep in mind, that is you enter an establishment and you are advised that you have to wear a mask, the state of Louisiana is under a statewide mask mandate.”

Chief Robinson also advises to bear in mind that during the holiday season, crime is still everywhere. When you are out and about, be mindful of your surroundings. When you place your purchases in your vehicle, place them in the trunk or out of plain view. If you have large purchases, when you get them home do not just place the box outside, break the box down and place in trash receptacle or bag it up.

With all of this in mind, if any issues arise in your shopping excursions or in your home, call the Rayville Police Department. Chief Robinson and his entire staff are always here to serve the community.
