A safe place to finish an internet deal

Oconee Sheriff’s Office, along with all five municipal police departments in the county (Salem, Seneca, Walhalla, Westminster, and West Union) will allow their parking lots to finish transactions that private parties initiate over the internet. “The Sheriff’s Office and the police departments in Oconee County recommend that you conduct the transaction portions of your internet business dealings in the parking lot areas,” Sheriff Mike Crenshaw said. “If any criminal activity does occur, charges will be brought by the corresponding agency where the offense occurs….” Law enforcement parking lots are considered public facilities and are used in many cases for picking up and dropping off children between parents and guardians.
