Huntsville, The Huntsville Police Department is
offering a Safe Exchange Zone. Persons who are
selling or buying items through the internet,
classified ads, or other media are invited to meet
in the parking lot of the Huntsville Police
Department to make their exchange safely. The
Safe Exchange Zone may also be utilized for child
custody exchanges.
There is a designated location near the entrance
to the Police Department that is marked by both
sign and markings on the pavement. The location
is under video surveillance at all times. If
available, officers may stand by with the persons
making the exchange to further ensure the safety
of the participants as well as to determine if items
being sold have been listed as stolen.
"This is another way the Huntsville Police
Department can provide for the safety of those in
our community," said Chief Kevin Lunsford. "We
hope this offers those involved peace of mind
when making exchanges with persons they don't
know."
HPD further advised that officers are not able to
facilitate any transaction, nor will they interfere or
advise on the validity of any purchase or sale of
any items. The presence of Huntsville Police
Department personnel is solely intended for the
physical safety of the involved parties.
