Both of the above locations are aimed to provide a neutral area for parties to meet and exchange items. Both areas will be marked with the below sign, are available to use 24/7/365, and are under video surveillance. You do NOT need permission to use these areas; please use them as you need. 

Some other helpful tips for internet exchanges: 

• If a person is not willing to meet at a police department of public space, it's probably not a legitimate transaction.
• Only engage in transactions with local buyers/sellers and people you're comfortable meeting with in person.
• Inform a friend or family member of your transaction details (where, when, who, time), and take someone with if possible.
• Don't go into someone else's house, and don't let them into yours.
• Avoid credit card payments; try to use cash to complete transactions.
• Trust your gut; if something doesn't feel right, don't meet with the seller/buyer unless you're comfortable.
