CHERRY HILL, NJ — Cherry Hill police are encouraging residents who engage in online transactions while businesses are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic to be safe.

Police encourage residents to use the designated "Safe Zone" located behind Town Hall in the “horseshoe” parking lot, and to use social distancing measures when doing so.

Two locations are marked with bright yellow "Safe Transaction Zone" signs. Both sites are located in and around the Township Municipal Building at 820 Mercer Street. One safe zone is located in the Police Headquarters lobby, which is accessible 24/7 from the front entrance on Mercer Street.

The second safe zone is located in the “horseshoe” of parking spots in the back lot at Town Hall. Both sites are continuously monitored by surveillance cameras.

While the sites are open 24/7, police said they will not participate in or witness transactions. They also can’t guarantee the quality or authenticity of items purchased. Transactions involving weapons, drugs, drug paraphernalia, or any other illegal activity are not permitted in these zones.
