Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind all citizens of Rayville that we as a community must all work together to maintain the peace and safety of our town. 

“It is your responsibility to abide by the laws and ordinances that are in place to govern citizens,” he said. “It is my responsibility to deal with criminal activity and any behavior that disturbs the peace of Rayville or endangers the citizens.”

Chief Robinson advised that his officers are diligent about listening for loud music, watching for fights and dealing with all minor incidents that could escalate into something more serious. 

Chief Robinson would also like to remind everyone to continue social distancing during this time. It’s still very important to follow the governor’s orders since the number of positive cases are still on the rise. 

“Stay safe everyone,” he urged.

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.
