Citizens of Fairfield:
In a proactive effort to safeguard our citizens, the Fairfield Police Department announces a new Safe Exchange Zone in the parking lot adjacent to the Police Department.
When conducting sales or purchases of items from a private individual, it’s best to conduct the actual transaction in a public place. The City of Fairfield now offers a Safe Exchange Zone for residents to make online purchases and exchange transactions in a monitored area. The Safe Exchange Zone is in the parking adjacent to the Police Station on Kentucky and Jackson. There are two designated parking spaces under 24-hr surveillance.
When using the Safe Exchange Zones here's a few things to keep in mind:
- Fairfield Police or City of Fairfield personnel will not be present or assist with any transactions
- The exchange of drugs, weapons, alcohol and other illegal items is not permitted
- The Safe Exchange Zone is meant for person-to-person transactions. Property may not be dropped off and left unattended.
- Sellers are required to take their property with them if the buyer does not show up
The Police Department encourages the use of Safe Exchange Zones for buyers and sellers of OfferUp, Craigslist, LetGo and other e-commerce apps. This location is monitored by the Police Department 24/7, if you have an emergency dial 9-1-1 or for non-emergency (707) 428-7300.
