Oxford Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency that serves Oxford, Mississippi, a city in Lafayette County that is home to the University of Mississippi. The department handles routine patrols, traffic enforcement, investigations and community policing in the city.

Police departments increasingly use social media platforms such as Facebook to share public safety information, traffic alerts, community announcements and emergency notifications. Such posts can provide timely information to residents, students and visitors and often serve as an initial point of contact between law enforcement and the public.
