The Child Custody and E-Commerce Safe Exchange Zone is offered in the annex parking of Marion City Hall, located on the East side of the former Recreation Center. This area is under video surveillance of the Marion City Hall camera systems which can be viewed by MPD personnel and our Communications Center to increase the safety of those exchanging children or engaging in e-commerce sales. This Safe Exchange Zone has two dedicated parking spots with posted signage as seen in the pictures. These parking spots should only be used by persons exchanging children or those engaging in e-commerce. If the designated spots are taken, you should use a nearby parking spot within this "zone". Family Court Personnel will not be on hand and MPD Officers will not be present unless such oversight is needed due to a protection order or similar circumstances. Persons who intend to use this Safe Exchange Zone do not need to ask permission or notify law enforcement unless you KNOW that you will need an officer due to the presence of a protection order or similar circumstances. If your circumstances do involve a protection order, you should call MPD Dispatch 740-387-2525 on your way to MPD to ensure we have an officer available to assist in the exchange.
