Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to encourage all citizens of Rayville to exercise principles of good citizenship.
“The Bible says that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” the chief said. “If we would all put this principle into practice, just think how much better life would be.”
Chief Robinson stated the most basic principles of good citizenship are to help people, to respect people and to get actively involved in your community.
“Every day, there is something you can do to help someone,” the chief said. “Carrying a bag of groceries for an elderly person, opening a door for someone whose hands are full, picking up something that someone has dropped and giving it back to them ... just look around you at the people you come in contact with. The possibilities are endless.”
Chief Robinson advised that if you are going to be away from home during the holidays, be sure to contact the Rayville Police Department and submit a patrol request for your residence during your absence.
“If you call us and let us know when you are going to be out of town, my officers will patrol your home regularly during your absence,” he said.
Chief Robinson also advised that if you know your neighbor is going to be away from home, you should keep an eye on their property and report any suspicious persons or activities to the Rayville Police Department. immediately.
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.
