Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson said he hopes everyone celebrated the Fourth of July holiday with a spirit of joy and peace.
This is the time of year that most families choose to gather for family reunions and others for class and school reunions.
“We are happy that Rayville was chosen as a place to gather,” he said. “Let us continue to work together to make our town a safe place to return for such occasions.”
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.
