Oxford police post message on Facebook
The Oxford Police Department posted a message on its Facebook page, the department’s primary social media channel for communicating with residents and visitors, according to the page.
Officials did not provide further details in the post. Local law enforcement agencies frequently use Facebook to share public safety alerts, traffic advisories, information about investigations, and community outreach initiatives that require rapid notification of residents.
Oxford is home to the University of Mississippi, and the police department serves a community that includes students, faculty and long-term residents. The department’s social media accounts are often used to provide timely updates during emergencies, to request assistance from the public and to increase transparency about police activity.
Because the post itself offered limited information, residents who rely on the department for urgent notices are encouraged to check the Oxford Police Department’s official Facebook page or contact the department directly for clarification. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
