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.”
He would also like to ask residents to collaborate with their neighbor and keep an eye on each other’s property.
“If you see something out of the ordinary, contact my office,” he said. “I vow to continue to keep Rayville safe. If you see something, say something.”
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.
