The St. Thomas Police Service have taken another step in helping to keep residents safe with the launch of their new Internet Exchange Zone. The internet exchange zone will give the community a safe place to meet up when buying and selling items off of internet sites such as kijiji, Facebook Market Place, Buy and Swap pages, amoung others. The internet exchange zone is located at the Colin McGregor Justice Building at 45 Caso Crossing in their public parking lot, where a video security system is set up.
Corporate Communications Coordinator Tanya Calvert says that many people already use public parking lots to meet up for exchanges and this just gives a little extra security and peace of mind to those meeting up.
Calverts says that they ask residents to use this exchange zone for smaller purchases and to not bring moving trucks or large vehicles to the station.
