Vicksburg Police Department posted a brief message on its Facebook page, according to the department’s social media account.
The short post contained minimal information and did not include additional details about the subject or any immediate follow-up actions.
The Vicksburg Police Department provides law enforcement and public safety services for the Mississippi city of Vicksburg and routinely uses social media to share alerts, traffic and road-closure information, safety guidance and community news.
Police departments nationwide use platforms such as Facebook to reach residents quickly during emergencies, investigations and community events; those posts can be important tools for transparency and community policing.
Because the post provided limited information, the department has not supplied further details through its Facebook channel. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
