The Oxford Police Department posted a brief message on its official Facebook page, according to the post. The post contained limited information and did not include details about incidents or actions referenced.
The Oxford Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency for Oxford, Mississippi, a college city that is home to the University of Mississippi. The department routinely uses its social media channels to communicate with residents, students and visitors about public-safety matters.
Police and other public-safety agencies increasingly rely on social media to share emergency alerts, traffic advisories, community notices and requests for information from the public because posts can reach people quickly.
Because the department’s Facebook post provided only a brief notice, further details are not available at this time. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
