Safe Trading Zone
The Town of Rosemère, in partnership with the Régie de police Thérèse-De Blainville (RIPTB), have made available to citizens a safe trading zone available to residents. It's a free space, under police surveillance, to make their transactions in complete safety.
The safe trading zone is located outdoors, near the police station, behind the Place des jeunes (skatepark). The space is clearly identified by blue and white markings on the ground and permanent signs. The whole area is well-lit at night and is under surveillance 24 hours, 7 days a week, by a high-definition camera.
WHAT IS IT FOR?
A safe trading zone can be used for transferring goods from the seller to the buyer following a sale or a transaction made online or by phone. The use of this type of location reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions and robberies. This area can also be used as a safe place for shared-custody parents wanting to transfer their children from one to the other at a safe location.
SYNERGIE COMMITTEE
This project is the initiative of the Régie de police Thérèse-De Blainville, which created the Synergie committee—a working committee composed of representatives from each of the municipalities served by the RIPTB. Synergie's objective is to set up common projects involving proactive strategies in order to ensure safe, healthy environments.
