Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind all citizens they need to think before they act especially in a negative manner.
“I try every week to touch on things in my news release that can help you avoid being in my article,” he said. “Therefore, if you appear in one of my articles, then you have chosen to do the wrong things. To get arrested leaves a charge on our record that could cause problems when you apply for jobs, housing or anything else. It has been said that for every action comes a reaction. So please be mindful of what you do and how you do it.”
Chief Robinson stated that his goal is that there will come a time when we will have to report “No Arrests.”
“My prayer is that God changes the heart of people where there will be more love for our fellow man,” he said.” I vow to keep this community safe wherein you will be proud of it.”
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.
