What is a Police Auction?

A police auction is the same as a general auction except the items going up for auction are seized, found, abandoned, and unclaimed personal property that are required by law to be auctioned at public auction. Law Enforcement Agencies do due diligence to try and find the rightful owner of the item. In many cases, they are unable to find the rightful owner (or if they are found, they often have filed insurance claims a do not want the original item back). If the items cannot be returned, it goes to public auction.


This is where we come in. We receive these items, put them on PropertyRoom.com, our online police auction website, and auction them for the agencies. The money that is collected goes back to the police department or community the items came from. This way they can focus on the more important law enforcement duties and help their communities with the funds earned from these auctions.


Since we get items from over 4,100+ different police agencies from across the United States, we are able to run online police auctions on our site 24 /7. Keep searching the website and you might find that something special you’ve been waiting for.
