Oxford police urge safety as Spring Break begins

Oxford Police Department urged residents and visitors to take precautions as Spring Break begins, saying in a social media post that it wants everyone to have a safe and enjoyable week.

The department reminded people to review basic safety steps before heading out and to report suspicious activity or request assistance if needed, using the department’s usual contact channels. The message, shared with the hashtag #OxfordPD, encouraged fun while emphasizing community safety.
