Vicksburg Police swear in Officer Michael Gadd

The Vicksburg Police Department said on its Facebook page that Officer Michael Gadd was officially sworn in as the department’s newest member.

The department congratulated Gadd and thanked him for answering the call to serve the citizens of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The post invited the public to “please join us in welcoming Officer Gadd to the VPD family,” and wished him a safe and successful career.

The Vicksburg Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for the city of Vicksburg, which is located on the Mississippi River and serves as a regional center for Warren County. New officer swearing-in ceremonies are routine steps toward maintaining staffing levels and community policing efforts.

Officials did not provide additional details about Gadd’s background or assignment in the Facebook post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
