Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised “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.
“The primary objective of my department is to maintain the peace and safety of this community for all its citizens. My officers and I have a zero tolerance policy for crimes of aggression and violence. Physical altercation is never an acceptable solution to a problem.”
He also stated that all citizens are more than welcome to call his office and ask for assistance of officers if there is a problem where you may need their asssitance.
Chief Robinson would also like to remind all citizens to keep their music at an appropriate level. The Rayville Police have had many arrests for disturbing the police by loud music. The chief also advised it is illegal to have an open container or to consume alcoholic beverages in a public place. Chief Robinson stated that violation of these ordinances will lead to arrests, fines and possibly even incarceration.
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.
