If you are making an online purchase requiring an in-person exchange, please remember our Online Exchange Zone is open to you! The Westwood Police station lobby serves as the Online Exchange Zone and is monitored by video surveillance. 

 SAFETY TIPS

When meeting someone for an online purchase exchange, please remember to:

• Insist on a public meeting place like a cafe, bank, or shopping center.

• Do not meet in a secluded place, or invite strangers into your home.

• Be especially careful buying/selling high value items.

• Tell a friend or family member where you're going.

• Take your cell phone along if you have one.

• Consider having a friend accompany you.

• Trust your instincts.
