OZARK, Ala — Residents in Ozark now have a designated safe location to complete online sales and custody exchanges.
City officials announced that a new Safe Exchange Zone has been established in front of Ozark City Hall. The area is under video surveillance and is intended to provide a secure place for citizens to meet when completing internet-related transactions or conducting custodial exchanges.
Officials say the location offers an added layer of safety for people meeting someone they may not know personally, particularly for marketplace sales arranged online or for child custody exchanges between parents.
The city encourages residents to use the space whenever they need a public, monitored location for these types of exchanges.
Authorities also remind the public that if an emergency situation occurs, residents should immediately call 911.
