Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind the citizens of Rayville that using physical violence is not a way to resolve your differences. 

“Whenever you are in a disagreement with someone and you feel that it might turn physical, the best thing to do is walk away,” he said. “If walking away does not solve the problem, call the police department before it escalates.”

Chief Robinson would also like to tell all parents that it is good to monitor their children’s activities. Chief Robinson stated there have been several issues with guns in the Town of Rayville. 

Chief Robinson stated if you are caught with a firearm illegally, you will be arrested.

He would like to tell the parents that it is good to be nosey in your children’s business.

 Chief Robinson stated being nosey could save your child’s life and the life of others.

Chief Robinson encourages citizens to come by Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison

Street or call 318-728-4431 if you need his help in any way.
