IF YOU’RE COMPLETING A CRAIGSLIST DEAL AND YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO MEET THE BUYER OR SELLER, YOU CAN NOW USE THE LOS LUNAS POLICE DEPARTMENT LOBBY OR PARKING LOT. LOS LUNAS POLICE DETECTIVE NIKKI BACA SAYS SHE’S NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER NEW MEXICO POLICE AGENCIES WITH A SIMILAR POLICY. BUT SHE SAYS IT’S A POPULAR OPTION IN OTHER STATES.
POLICE THERE SAY BOTH AREAS ARE ACTIVE DURING THE DAY AND WELL-LIT IN THE EVENINGS WITH SECURITY CAMERAS. ON WEEKENDS, YOU’RE ENCOURAGED TO USE THE PARKING LOT WHICH HAS 24-HOUR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE.
