The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office has created a safe "Exchange Zone" in the parking lot of the Court house where individuals can safely meet to conduct online purchase transactions and/or to transfer children from one parent to another in child custody cases. This Exchange Zone has video cameras to monitor activities in this zone.
The safe Exchange Zone will reduce the number of people who get robbed or physically harmed when they meet a stranger to complete a purchase from an item they are selling or buying on the Internet.
The Exchange Zone is also a good place for separated/divorced parents to meet to transfer children from one parent to the other for visitations when child custody is a contentious issue.
