Attention Online Shoppers!

An Important Message From The Montgomery Township Police Department

People love Craigslist for the ability to buy specific items at a possible lower cost.

The problem?- This can put you at risk, as you are meeting up with a total stranger to purchase the item.

The solution?- Make the seller meet you at a safe spot- The Montgomery Township Police Department parking lot (1001 Stump Road, Montgomeryville, PA 18936).

"It is important that the seller agrees to meet at a safe place like the Montgomery Township Police Department parking lot. The buyer should look elsewhere if the seller is not willing to meet at a safe place. Safety is our priority, and I'm happy to open our parking lot for people to conduct safer business," said Chief Scott Bendig.

The Montgomery Township Police Department is open and staffed 24 hours a day. The Police Department can be contacted (non-emergency) at 215-362-2301.
