Oxford Police Department posts on Facebook

The Oxford Police Department posted a message on its official Facebook page.

The department is the municipal law enforcement agency for Oxford, Mississippi, a city in northern Mississippi that is home to the University of Mississippi. Oxford Police routinely use social media to share information with residents, students and visitors about public safety, local incidents and community events.

Social media posts from police agencies can provide rapid updates on traffic advisories, safety warnings, missing-person notices and other time-sensitive information. They also serve as a channel for officials to request information from the public, correct misinformation and direct people to official resources.

The content of the department’s Facebook post was not described in the source material. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
