Lyndhurst, N.J., establishes safe-zone for internet purchases

2/22/2017

0 Comments

 
In Lyndhurst, N.J., a "safe-trade zone" that allows residents to exchange products purchased through sites like Craigslist has been set up outside the police department.
​
Police Chief Jim O'Connor said police are seeing an increase in e-commerce transactions that end in violence, sexual assault or robbery. 

Two designated parking spots behind Lyndhurst Police Headquarters are monitored with video surveillance and are well lit. O'Connor said residents can use the police department lobby as well to make the exchange. O'Connor and Public Safety Commissioner John Montillo set up the zone hoping to limit the chances of residents being victims of crime.

Bloomingdale, Closter, Allendale and Butler also have set up safe zones.

​The South Brunswick Police Dept. has created a “Safe Exchange Zone” for residents to meet when selling or buying items online. East Brunswick police designated a similar safe exchange spot earlier this month.
Two spots have been designated in the parking lot of the police station, which is well lit. People can meet and sell their goods there without fear of being ripped off. While officers will not be actively monitoring transactions, the spots are directly in front of the police department lobby doors. Look for the signs that say: “Reserved Parking – Safe Exchange Zone – 15 Min Parking Limit – 24 Hour Monitoring."
