Greenwood fire station designated as 'safe exchange zone' for online sales

There's now a new place for people to safely buy items from people they've met online: at the Greenwood Fire Station on East Main Street. The city has designated two parking spots there which are monitored to keep people safe.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Ind. (WTHR) — People can now safely exchange items purchased online in Johnson County at the Greenwood Fire Station on East Main Street.

The city has designated two parking spots that are monitored to keep people safe. There's also an emergency call box, just in case you have a problem.

Similar efforts have been made elsewhere in Indiana. The Markleville Police Department, for example, recently set up an area that's monitored by cameras 24 hours a day.

In Indianapolis, IMPD district headquarters offers safe spots for people to meet up for online sales.

The Johnson County Sheriff's Department in Franklin also has two parking spaces as well, like the ones set up in Greenwood.
