Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to ask a question: Is it worth it to engage in a physical confrontation that will cause someone to get hurt, get arrested, have to pay a fine, have a criminal record and in the end you lose?
“It’s time that we acted as adults and display a positive attitude around our youth. To add to what I’m expressing to you about being there for our youth, look at what our youth were charged with.”
Chief Robinson asks that you surround yourself with positive people and please stop listening to those who bring you negative information. This will strongly cause confrontation when, in fact, you should consider the source. Therefore, I challenge all to place refrain from negativity and remember that for every action there will be a reaction.
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.
