CARROLLTON (CBSDFW.COM) - The Carrollton Police Department is now offering a secure zone for citizens to conduct exchanges of items bought and sold over the Internet via sites like craigslist and eBay
The parking lot in front of the Carrollton Police Station (2025 E. Jackson Road) as well as the Police Department and the jail lobbies are now designated as Online Exchange Areas. People who buy or sell items over the Internet can use these areas as a neutral meeting place to conduct exchanges.
As an added precaution, if exchanges are conducted during normal lobby business hours Carrollton Police offer a serial number check to verify whether the item has been reported stolen.
While the jail lobby is open and video monitored 24 hours a day, the Police Department lobby follows regular City hours of operation, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 7:30-11:30 a.m. on Fridays.
