OXFORD– The Oxford Police Department unveiled two special-graphics patrol vehicles Monday evening. The vehicles promote brain cancer and breast cancer awareness while honoring two people whose stories personally affected the department family.

The unveiling took place at police headquarters on Stanley Merrill Drive. In a message on its official Facebook page, the department thanked everyone who attended and explained the personal meaning behind each vehicle.

A Lasting Tribute to Adam Willis

The department dedicated the brain cancer awareness vehicle to the memory of Adam Willis, the husband of Investigator Jaclyn Willis.

Adam battled brain cancer for nearly three years before he died from the disease in May, according to the department.

The vehicle serves as a lasting tribute to his strength, courage, and determined fight against the disease.

For Investigator Willis and others who knew Adam, the patrol vehicle will carry his memory throughout the community the department serves.

Honoring Teresa Medina’s Survival

The breast cancer awareness vehicle honors retired Chief’s Administrative Assistant Teresa Medina.

Medina courageously battled breast cancer and is now a survivor enjoying a well-deserved retirement, the department said.

Her vehicle recognizes both her service to the department and the strength she demonstrated during her cancer fight.

Together, the two vehicles reflect different experiences with cancer—one centered on remembrance and another on survival.

Continuing a Community Awareness Mission

The new vehicles join the department’s existing special-graphics patrol vehicles supporting Autism Awareness and School Police Officers.

Police said the vehicles continue the department’s commitment to raising awareness and strengthening its relationship with the community.

Each patrol vehicle now carries more than an awareness message. One preserves the memory of Adam Willis, while the other celebrates Teresa Medina’s survival and service.

Through these moving tributes, the Oxford Police Department will keep both stories visible while encouraging greater cancer awareness across the community.
