The Pineville Police Department has established two Safety Trade Zones within the city limits to provide residents with a secure, well-lit location to complete person-to-person transactions and other exchanges.
These designated areas are under video surveillance and are intended to help promote safety during transactions arranged through online marketplaces, classified advertisements, or other private sales. They may also be used as a neutral location for child custody exchanges.
While the Pineville Police Department cannot guarantee the outcome of any transaction or exchange, these locations are provided to help reduce risk by offering a public, monitored meeting place.
This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing public safety and providing resources that help protect our community.
