Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson encouraged all citizens of Rayville to be respectful of the rights and property of others.

“A simple rule of thumb is to abide by the Golden Rule,” the chief said. “Treat others the way you want to be treated. You’ll never go wrong that way.”

Chief Robinson advised that you should not take or use another person’s property without their permission nor should you enter their residence unless you’ve been invited to do so. 

“Infringing on the rights of others is not just bad behavior,” the chief. “You can also incur criminal charges for doing so.”

Chief Robinson advised all citizens to report any suspicious persons or activities in their neighborhoods.

“If you know your neighbor is out of town and you see someone snooping around their home, contact the police department so that we can come and check it out,” he said.

The chief also advised that citizens should not try to approach a suspicious person, but should always contact the Rayville Police Department and let his officers investigate the situation.

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 any way.
