Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson said, “When you get a traffic ticket, that is considered a moving violation which affects your driving record as well as your insurance, rather it be by my officers or any other law enforcement agency. So as you travel, please, do the speed limit. If you do the speed limit, you stand a chance of not receiving a ticket or having a crash.”

Chief Robinson also advised that he is still getting complaints about loud music. 

“I ask that you please consider others when you play your music,” he said. “We do have an ordinance against loud music, so don’t get caught.”

Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by Rayville police Department at 900 Harrison Street or call 318-728-4431 if you need help in any way. 

“Remember at the Rayville Police Department there is an open door policy, so we welcome you to come by,” he said.
