Police create Internet Transaction Zone
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Police Service has unveiled a new initiative to allow residents to conduct online sales safely.
Police have set up an Internet Transaction Zone in front of the police station. It allows residents to conduct legitimate purchases or sales in a public location, such as a Kijiji ad.
The zone is also available to be used for other legitimate exchanges, including child custody exchanges by parents. The zone is clearly marked and is under continued video surveillance, which is recorded, in case anything goes wrong.
