The City of Oxford proudly congratulates School Resource Officer and Master Patrolman Jerry Perry on completing the Advanced School Resource Officer Training in Hutchinson, Kansas, June 11–13. The training was hosted by the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center and provided in-depth instruction on school safety practices, student communication, and crisis response.

Officer Perry has long been a familiar and trusted presence in our schools. Whether helping with morning drop-off, supporting school events, or offering guidance to students, he brings both professionalism and compassion to his role. His commitment to pursuing continued training ensures Oxford’s students and staff are protected by the very best.

“It has been an honor to serve as the Oxford 358 SRO,” said Officer Perry. “I am looking forward to the new school year and continuing to build connections with students and staff to maintain a safe and positive learning environment. It’s a great day to be a Wildcat!”  🐾

We’re grateful for Officer Perry’s dedication to our youth and his unwavering service to the Oxford community.

If you’ve driven through Napawalla Park recently, you may have noticed a growing dip in the road. 🌧️ Weeks of heavy and frequent rainfall have taken a toll, washing away gravel and dirt and making the dip worse over time.

This week, our hardworking Maintenance Crew 💪 was out in the heat 🌞 tackling the issue. They laid down a solid layer of AB3 base rock 🪨—a durable material that creates a compact and stable foundation for future repairs.

A more permanent fix is in the works and is currently planned for this fall 🍂. As with many outdoor projects, the schedule will depend on the weather, but we’ll keep you posted as plans move forward! 📅

👏 Big thanks to our crew for keeping things safe, smooth, and moving forward!

This week, our hardworking Oxford Maintenance Crew was out in the summer heat getting an important job done—installing Yield Signs at every cross intersection along Sumner Street.

While some intersections already had Stop or Yield signs in place, this project ensures that now every single intersection on Sumner Street has proper signage. It’s all part of our continued effort to improve traffic safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike.

Please be sure to watch for the new signs and stop or yield appropriately as you travel through the area. A little extra caution goes a long way in keeping our community safe.

👏 A big thank you to our Maintenance Crew for getting the job done quickly and efficiently—even in the heat!
