Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised that he is very pleased in the decrease in criminal arrests.
“I pray for the day that this article will reflect no arrests,” he said. “I vow to keep this town safe but law enforcement needs you, the community to help. My motto is if you see something, say something.”
He would also like to remind the citizens of Rayville to observe posted speed limits and other traffic regulations.
“Motorists need to remember that speed limits are posted for their safety as well as the other motorists and pedestrians,” he said.
The chief advised that Rayville Police Department officers exercise extreme vigilance when it comes to speeding, especially in residential areas where there are children playing near roadways.
“If you don’t want a ticket for speeding, don’t violate the speed limit,” the chief said. “And as always buckle up.”
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.
