Multiple Locations for Transaction Safe Place in Cherokee County

April 24, 2015

From the north in Michigan to the south in Florida, law enforcement agencies are offering up their lobbies as a public space for patrons to safely perform Craigslist transactions. An emphasis on safety has been expressed within the Craigslist personal safety page, but as we shared in February, this concern has hit close to home with a string of recent crimes in Georgia.

Woodstock’s Transaction Safe Place was announced in February, and on p. 16 of the April issue of the TowneLaker Magazine additional locations were shared. Woodstock’s Police Chief Calvin W. Moss identified the following Transaction Safe Place locations within Cherokee County:

Ball Ground

If you are planning on meeting in a public place for a Craigslist transaction make sure you follow basic safety guidelines. Chief Moss outlined these as:

  1. Insisting on a public meeting place
  2. Taking extra precautions when purchasing or selling expensive items
  3. Informing friends and family members of your plans and taking someone with you if at all possible.
  4. Keeping your cell phone with you at all times
  5. Listen to your gut instincts.

Make sure that if you are planning any Craigslist transactions you follow the above guidelines and keep safety in mind.
