Safe Exchange Zone Now Available To Protect Online Buyers, Sellers

April 24, 2018

Atmore now has an “E-commerce Safe Spot” for online buyers and sellers to conduction transactions.

The area’s first e-commerce  safe spot with two marked parking spaces is located at on Pensacola Boulevard on the west side of the Atmore Fire Department. The area is monitored by video 24/7.

“We believe that having an area designated for this specific purpose and which is recorded and monitored by the police department will deter those wanting to engage in criminal activity,” Brandi Giger, president of the Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce, said.

Reservations are not necessary, and there is no charge to use the safe spot. City employees, including police officers, will not serve as witnesses or take part in any transaction.

    I spent every weekend a block away from there growing up as a kid, visiting my grandparents. That’s a perfect spot, surrounded by homes, right next to the fire department, and in an open area. Great Idea, Atmore!

    Way to go Atmore, finally a safe place to meet for an on-line sale swap, I wish every municipality would do this.
