Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised all citizens of the Town of Rayville that the Rayville Police Department has a zero-tolerance policy for fighting and other forms of violent behavior.
“If there is a fight, all parties involved in the fight will be arrested and charged whether or not they are still on the scene when my officers arrive,” the chief said.
Chief Robinson stated that this sort of violent, disruptive behavior will be quickly dealt with.
“Maintaining the peace in this community and the safety of our citizens is of utmost importance to me,” the chief said.
Chief Robinson would also like to remind all citizens that of the city ordinance governing excessive noise.
“During the summer months when many people have social gatherings, be mindful of your neighbors and keep your music and noise at a respectful level,” the chief said.
Chief Robinson also stated that motorists need to keep the music inside their vehicles at a level that can’t be easily heard outside the vehicle.
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.
