Oxford Police Department welcomes two new members

Oxford Police Department said on its Facebook page that Ava Gaddis and Cole Gossett began their careers with the department on their first day, and the agency invited the community to welcome the new members.

The Oxford Police Department (OPD) is the municipal law enforcement agency responsible for public safety, crime prevention and community policing in its jurisdiction. Departments like OPD typically assign new hires to field training, community outreach and other duties as they begin their service, though the department did not provide specific assignment details.

Hiring new personnel is significant for maintaining patrol coverage, responding to calls for service and supporting community engagement efforts. Local police agencies across the country frequently highlight new recruits to introduce them to residents and underscore a continued investment in public safety and local partnerships.

The department encouraged residents to give Ava Gaddis and Cole Gossett a warm welcome to the OPD family. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
