Marshall PD Provides Safe Location for Internet Transactions

With the holiday season in full swing, the Marshall Police Department is reminding citizens that there are two parking spaces dedicated as Internet Purchase Exchange locations. These parking spaces are located in the public parking lot at 2101 East End Blvd. North and allow for individuals to safely meet and complete purchases of products sold online. While officers will not be assigned to facilitate or monitor the transactions, the parking spaces are located in a well-lit area with 24-hour recorded surveillance. Any reluctance by either party to meet in the Marshall Police Department parking lot should be taken as a warning sign about the legitimacy of the sale. A buyer/seller that will communicate only via email, will not provide a telephone number, or attempts to make a last minute change in venue should make you reconsider following through with the purchase.
