Safe Zone

 Marketplace Safe Zone iconSt. Augustine Police Department has established a SAFE ZONE location for e-commerce traders using Craigslist, eBay, Facebook’s Marketplace, Swip Swap and/or any others that are in existence. The Safe Zone was established for residents and visitors to have a safe place to meet with the buyer or seller, in effort to deter any bad incidences from occurring during their transaction of goods.

Watch our Safe Zone video

We encourage the public to utilize the police department’s side parking lot or the station’s front lobby for their trades. Our side parking lot and front lobby are equipped with 24/7 video cameras that will capture the exchange. If you should have any additional questions you may contact us at 904-825-1070.
