OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. — The Olive Branch Police Department has activated its inclement weather policy as hazardous road conditions impact the area, urging motorists to use extreme caution and limit travel whenever possible.
Under the policy, police are changing how certain traffic crashes are handled to allow officers to focus on emergencies and life-threatening situations during dangerous weather.
If a crash occurs and there are no injuries, no suspected drugs or alcohol involvement, and no vehicle needs to be towed, drivers will not need an officer to respond to the scene. Instead, those involved should exchange the following information:

- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- Insurance information
- Vehicle tag numbers
Drivers are also encouraged to take photos of the vehicles and the crash scene for documentation…
