ECSO Establishes ‘SAFE’ Zones For Online Shopping Exchanges
December 9, 2021
If you are buying or selling online, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office now has three “SAFE” places to make the exchange.
“If you are thinking about buying or selling stuff, consider doing so here at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, ” Sheriff Chip Simmons said. “The bad guys won’t get you here.”
The “Sheriff’s Area For E-Commerce”, or SAFE zones, have 24 hour video surveillance in marked parking spaces.
“If the buyer or seller does not want to meet at a law enforcement agency, that should be a red flag,” Simmons said.
The e-commerce zones are located at the ECSO Ensley Precinct at 97 West Hood Drive, the main ECSO building at 1700 West Leonard Street, and the Warrington Precinct at 30 North Navy Boulevard.

Bill strikes me as a guy who can never see the positive in anything at all. There is literally no downside to this.
@Bill:
So, because there’s all this bad stuff in the world, no one is supposed to focus on anything positive?
Hope all counties do this. Encourages entrepreneurship and discouraged crime.
“Bill”, Sheriff is doing something good for the people of this county. You can’t stop the gangbangers who want to kill each other off- let them weed themselves out.
The amount of daily shootings, unsolved murders pilling up…and this is where Sheriff Simmons sets his priorities? Confused….
Many thanks to the ECSD for setting up these safe zones for ppl to be able to buy or sell online items. It’s always scary to meet up with people you don’t know at any time of year, but now even more so. Thank you for once again caring for our community.
What Jeff and Chris said.
Great idea.
Would it be possible to add one in the north area of town, such as the Molino ESCO office area?
