PITTSBURG (KRON) — The Pittsburg Police Department is creating a place for people to meet and complete online transactions in a safe manner.
On Thursday, the department announced it is adopting the “Exchange Zone” concept in hopes of deterring people from using websites such as Craigslist for criminal activity. It also helps residents maintain privacy by not disclosing the location of their homes, police said.
These zones are well-lit parking areas designated with a sign in front of the Pittsburg Police Department, located at 65 Civic Avenue. The area is under a 24-hour video surveillance.
