The Oxford Mississippi Police Department is taking a bite out of crime in a more non-conventional way. The local police department has created a Facebook page to stay connected with the University of Mississippi and Oxford, MS community. Police Chief Mike Martin was convinced to create a Facebook page to better reach its public. The department posts information about traffic flow on busy streets like Jackson and University Avenue, major crimes that have been committed in the city, and game day routines. The Facebook users have opportunities to give feedback to help the department better know exactly what the city of Oxford needs. The department also posts pictures of special events OPD has been involved with in the community.
