BESSEMER — People in Bessemer are being provided with a safe place to meet up and complete their online transactions, according to WBRC.
That location is at the Bessemer Police Department’s Emergency Operations Center. It is located on Ninth Avenue SW, next to the Dollar General.
This location is considered to be very safe as it is always staffed.
“We have had a few requests, but we also know, based on that and based on the holidays coming up, people will be buying goods and services, so we want to go ahead and take that step and make it happen now.” said Bessemer Police Lt. Christian Clemons. “Bessemer now joins several other cities that have also designated their police departments as safe meeting zones for goods and services, so we want to go ahead and take that step and make it happen now.”
