ALABASTER, Ala. (WIAT) — There’s now a safe place to conduct transactions made on trading
websites, like Craigslist.

Last week, the City of Alabaster created its first “Safe Trade Zone,” to avoid these dangerous or
deceitful situations.

“The intent of this is to provide people an opportunity to do their trade that they would have
conducted otherwise, maybe somewhere not as public,” Henry said.

The trade zone is behind the city’s old municipal complex, across from the Alabaster Police
Department. It’s also equipped with multiple surveillance cameras, which record 24 hours a day
(though they are not constantly monitored).

Locals who buy and sell items through online trading services such as Craigslist now have a safe, monitored area to complete transactions near the Alabaster Police Department in Alabama.

The city recently established a "safe trade zone" in the parking lot of the Municipal annex at 127 1st St SW.
