Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson states the mission of the Rayville Police Department is to faithfully serve the Town of Rayville with dignity, equality, compassion and respect. However, in order for each citizen to enjoy any and all of these services, respect for others must be adhered or given to each other. In accomplishing this mission, the Rayville Police Department is committed to preserving the community. Chief Robinson and his staff continue to be as committed to the prevention of crime and the preservation of peace as they are to the solving of crimes, thus maintaining order and safety.
Chief Robinson also states that each week when his report goes out, it reflects on things that have taken place in the community. Therefore, we must be mindful of what we do and keep in mind for every action there is a reaction. Those who know better should be doing better and telling others to do the right thing.
“I ask that all join in on moving toward the right direction for our town and remember it must be a community effort as well,” he said.
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.
