VICKSBURG, Miss. (Vicksburg Daily News) – On Thursday, the Vicksburg Police Department instituted Operation Blitz, a directed initiative targeting street-level criminal activity.
For the next several weeks, officers of the Patrol Division, the Criminal Investigations Division, and the Narcotics/NET Team will be out in force throughout the city focusing on high-level offenders who are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crimes.
