Sheriff’s Office offering safe zone for online transactions 

The Sheriff’s Office is offering the lobbies of its substations and headquarters building as safe zones for residents making online transactions or to anyone buying or selling in person.

Those who are worried about giving strangers their home address — or meeting with strangers in general — to make transactions can now do so in a safe place. The rise in popularity in websites such as Craigslist and eBay among others have changed the way many make transactions, especially during the holidays.

Both the buyer’s and seller’s privacy is protected in this way.

County residents who wish to use one of the Sheriff’s Office substation lobbies can do so during working hours between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.
