NEW LENOX POLICE DEPARTMENT “INTERNET PURCHASE EXCHANGE LOCATION”
NEW LENOX POLICE DEPARTMENT
“INTERNET PURCHASE EXCHANGE LOCATION”
We are pleased to announce that the New Lenox Police Department will serve as a designated “Internet Purchase Exchange Location.” With the rise in online trading in which buyer and seller must meet to complete private transactions, the safety of those involved is a primary concern. Although the vast majority of these transactions are perfectly safe, risks can include theft, robberies, and physical threats or harm. Residents seeking a safe place to conduct these transactions are free to utilize the parking lot located on the lower level, northeast corner of the New Lenox Police Department, which is under 24-hour video surveillance.
Please be aware that police personnel may not become actively involved in any transactions unless criminal activity is involved, and will not participate in the exchange of cash or the storing or transferring of items. Also, transactions related to weapons will not be allowed.
The pictured sign has been placed in the parking lot to serve as a reminder of this option. We strongly encourage residents to take advantage of this safe way to conduct transactions.
