The meet locations are designated by green signs which state ‘Meet up Spot’ and are within view of police department cameras that are monitored by Cape May Communications operators 24 hours a day. The signs were donated by Offer-UP – a mobile marketplace company.
Citizens who wish to use these spots for online transaction exchanges do not have to contact the department first; however can make contact with dispatch upon arrival to inform the department of the exchange. Officers will not be participants in any exchange.
