Oxford police post message on Facebook

Oxford Police Department posted a message on its Facebook page, the department said in a social media post. The content of the post was not included with the material provided to this article.

Oxford is a city in northern Mississippi and is home to the University of Mississippi. The Oxford Police Department is the city’s primary law enforcement agency and regularly communicates with residents and visitors about public safety issues.

Law enforcement agencies nationwide and in Mississippi increasingly use social media to share timely information such as traffic advisories, safety warnings, community notices and requests for public assistance. Posts on official pages can be a primary way local officials reach large audiences quickly, especially in communities with significant student populations.
