Project Safe Trade

Project Safe Trade provides a public space that can be used by persons who wish to facilitate the exchange of goods purchased online.

 

Project Safe Trade provides two (2) designated parking spots at the Kawartha Lakes OPP detachment, located at #3028 Highway 35 in Lindsay, for use by residents and visitors to the municipality. The parking spots are identified by signs and provide a public space for individuals who sell or purchase items online to meet strangers in order to complete the sales transaction.

 

“Project Safe Trade’s goal is to reduce the amount of offences related to online marketplace transactions, such as theft and fraud,” said Provincial Constable Carrie Lanning, Community Safety Officer at the City of Kawartha Lakes OPP Detachment.
