The Arlington Police Department has designated the parking area in front of the Arlington Police Station, 110 E. Third Street, as a Community MeetUp Spot. The designation is done in partnership with OfferUp to create brightly lit areas to meet up with someone to inspect items and complete online sales. The area has surveillance cameras to also increase safety for those completing online sales.
The location was selected after multiple requests from community members to designate a safe spot for completing online sales and custody exchanges.
This latest location will be added to OfferUp in the coming weeks. Additional safe trade spots are shown on the website, www.safetradespots.com, the largest national database of police and sheriff's departments and other law enforcement agencies that have designated locations for in-person transactions.
