As part of supporting community safety, the parking lots at both Diamond Valley Fire Rescue fire stations are available as ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ฉ-๐ช๐ฅ ๐ก๐ค๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ. These locations are well-lit, have video surveillance, and are situated in high-traffic areas, making them a good option for public exchanges.
A few important reminders when arranging an in-person exchange:
โข Avoid meeting at private residences or inviting strangers to your home.
โข Choose public, well-lit locations with people around.
โข Bring a friend or let someone know where youโre going and when you expect to return.
โข Be cautious if the other party wants to change locations, meet somewhere secluded, or pressures you to move the exchange elsewhere.
โข Keep a record of usernames, messages, and contact details.
โข Trust your instinctsโif something doesnโt feel right, itโs okay to walk away.
โข Whenever possible, meet during daylight hours.
Thank you to the Diamond Valley RCMP for sharing the safety reminder, and to residents for helping keep our community safe.
