To Protect and Serve!

It has been reported that the East Chicago Police Department is offering the use of its headquarters parking lot and lobby for residents looking for a safe place to conduct transactions arranged online.  They will even have a police officer present, if you wish.

What a great idea!  We have all seen and heard the stories of Craigslist-related assaults and robberies, where victims are lured to locations with the promise of a purchase or sale.

The East Chicago Police call it “Operation Safe Sale.”  We call it an excellent service to the community.
