They need a safe space to go to be able to purchase these items for themselves or for their loved ones,” the at-large councilman said at a press conference in the back of City Hall where the zone will be established. “So we want to create that here. We’ll have additional lighting where people can see. We’ll have a flow of traffic as well. Also, we have cameras here that can also record what’s going on here because we believe that it’s important that when you are purchasing these items that you do not purchase items at night, that you do not bring large sums of money and that you do not also go it alone.” The safe zone was … [Read more...] about Trenton councilman creates safe zone at City Hall for online transactions in wake of murder
