A Montgomery County Police graphic promoting Safe Exchange Zones. On the left, gold speech bubbles share safety tips: meet at a police station, tell someone where you're going, inform the buyer/seller you won’t be alone, trust your instincts, don’t invite strangers into your home, and never share personal or financial info. On the right is a sign that reads “MCP SAFE EXCHANGE ZONE.” The background is purple and black with the MCPD seal partially visible.
🚨 After a recent attempted carjacking during a Facebook Marketplace sale, we’re reminding residents to use designated Exchange Zones at Montgomery County Police Department district stations for safer in-person transactions.
