Police departments in Cumberland County will serve as “Safe Trade Spots” for people meeting to exchange items from online purchases on sites such as OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace.
Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland police departments, along with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department, are taking part in the program, Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae announced in a press release.
Safe Trade Spots are marked, well-lit locations at each police station that have security cameras recording exchanges to deter criminal activity.
