Scott County Sheriff's Office announces a "SAFE ZONE" to area citizens for Craigslist or other website transactions.

The Scott County Sheriff's Office will be utilizing the jail lobby and jail parking lot to provide a "SAFE ZONE" to area citizens for transactions on Craigslist or other websites.

Please call the Sheriff's Office at (573) 545-3525 and let the staff know ahead of time what time you are going to be arriving to make a transaction; upon arrival, please enter the jail lobby and let dispatch know that you have arrived to make the transaction.

Since the parking lot is monitored 24/7, Sheriff Walter hopes this will cut down on fraud, robberies, and other crimes committed through the use of these websites.
