Wausau Police Department Moves Safe Exchange Zone to New Location

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025 -- 9:01 AM

The Safe Exchange Zone at the Wausau Police Department was moved to another area of the parking lot a bit ago.

It can now be found on the east side of the building at the north end of the public parking area. What is a “Safe Exchange Zone” you might ask?  Two parking spaces are denoted as a Safe Exchange Zone.

There you’re welcome to trade legal items, including internet sales, or conduct child custody exchanges in a safe atmosphere promoted by a well-lit, police protected, and camera-monitored environment. 

While law enforcement will not screen or oversee your transaction or child-exchange, we will respond if an emergency arises.  Our Safe Exchange Zones are available 24 hours a day.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
