Police Auctions

Police auctions are held to dipsose of vehicles and surplus/obsolete equipment. They are also held for such things as recovered items, stolen goods unclaimed, siezed items and much more.

Police department equipment that ends up at auction is generally well maintained under strict maintance schedules although care should still be taken as they may not recieve the t.l.c that a private owner/operator would give.

Police auctions are generally conducted by a third party private auction house and can be onsite at police branch or at the auction centre.
