Biloxi Police Department posts update on Facebook
The Biloxi Police Department posted a message on its official Facebook page on Monday, the department said. The department did not provide additional details in the post.
The Biloxi Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for Biloxi, Mississippi, a coastal city on the Gulf of Mexico. The agency provides patrol, investigations and community policing services for residents, businesses and visitors.
Local police departments increasingly use social media to communicate quickly with the public about events ranging from traffic disruptions and safety alerts to community outreach and requests for information. Officials say such platforms can improve transparency, speed dissemination of information and allow the public to report tips.
Because the Facebook post contained limited information, readers should expect updates as the department releases them. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
