RBPD establishes internet purchase
Meet-Up Spots at police station
The Redondo Beach Police Department has established an official “Meetup Spot” for buyers and sellers using internet or mobile marketplace applications “OfferUp.”
These meetup spots are sometimes referred to as “Internet Purchase Exchange Locations,” and allow for buyers and sellers to avoid giving personal information like home addresses. Instead, they may now opt to use the Redondo Beach Police Station as a meeting spot to complete their in-person transactions with peace of mind.
The Redondo Beach Police station has 24 hour video monitoring, and the use of the location is intended to promote secure transaction sites for buyers and sellers from online marketplaces. Two 12×18 aluminum “Meetup Spot” signs have been posted in the front of the Redondo Beach Police station for the community to use and to provide a deterrent to criminal intent and activity.
