Vicksburg Police use sticky-note campaign to boost recruiting

Vicksburg Police Department is using a sticky-note campaign to highlight reasons to join the force, the department said on its Facebook page.

The short video shows adhesive notes detailing motivations and benefits of a law enforcement career and asks viewers, “Ready to find your reason to join the team?” The post uses hashtags including #JoinVPD, #vicksburgpolice and #NowHiring to promote recruitment.

The Vicksburg Police Department, which serves the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, enforces laws, investigates crimes and works with community partners. Departments across the country routinely run outreach campaigns to attract candidates for patrol, investigations and civilian support roles, and social-media efforts often aim to reach younger audiences and community members who may not consider policing as a career.

Officials did not provide additional details about hiring needs, application deadlines or specific openings in the Facebook Reel. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
