FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tempe, Ariz., Sept. 22, 2015 – The Arizona State University Police Department will offer an “Online Exchange Zone” starting this week to trade legal items in a safe environment for ASU students, faculty and staff.
 
Individuals who conduct online transactions can trade in the lobby of the ASU police department main station at 325 E. Apache Blvd. Tempe, AZ 85287. Trades can happen while the lobby is under surveillance during regular office hours  8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
 
Police officers will not screen items or supervise trades. Exchanges can happen to the right of the lobby entrance near the “Online Exchange Zone” sign. University policy states that it is prohibited to exchange weapons, drugs or stolen property.
