The Annapolis police department is opening its doors – and parking lot – to people who want a safe place to conduct face-to-face transactions with strangers.
Police on Thursday announced "Transaction Safe Place," in which the department's parking lot and lobby are being made available to the public as a place to meet and conduct their business.
"Criminals frequently seek out victims online," city police Chief Michael Pristoop said. "This program will protect Annapolitans conducting face to face transactions after an online interaction."

It's a smart idea. How many thousands of transactions through Craigslist and other similar websites happen on a daily basis? Makes it a bit easier than going to the local bank for a transaction.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for all police departments to do.
ReplyDeleteBest idea ever!
ReplyDeleteI am quite often greatly critical of LE, and disagree with and condemn their actions, policies and ethics here on SbyNews.
ReplyDeleteBut., I am also one of the first to publicly praise LE when it's deserved. And, "Transaction Safe Place" deserves my public thank you & praise to LE as well as it does yours.
Probably not the best place to meet that hooker from CL.
ReplyDeleteIts comom sense. Its a public place. Always been allowed. Sheeple are to stupid to know how to make themselves safe so the police have to tell them. Smdh.
ReplyDeletecan i buy my handguns there too?
