SAFE EXCHANGE ZONE
the San Antonio Police Department and
councilman Mike Gallagher are partnering
to bring you the SAPD safe exchange zone
program nationwide there have been
several cases of online transactions
between two private parties turning into
violent and even deadly encounters you
really just need to look up the keywords
online transaction crime to see and read
the disturbing stories as part of an
ongoing effort to prevent crime and help
our citizens feel safe the SAPD is
offering our public parking lots at each
of our six patrol substations as a
suggested location for these
transactions the offering of police
parking lots for these transactions has
already successfully occurred in other
parts of the country while our Lots are
public we will have marked areas with
distinctive signs where the activity is
most likely to be covered by our video
surveillance as an additional level of
safety our 24-hour man lobbies are open
for those who wish to conduct a
transaction there we suggest that
residents consider this a safer option
when arranging a location to conduct a
legal private transaction whether
arranged online or by other means be
advised that all transactions must be in
compliance with all local state and
federal laws our Police Department is
always willing to open our parking lots
and our doors to our citizens especially
in the interest of Public Safety and
personal security we're constantly
looking for ways to encourage our
community to feel safe welcome and
