ANNOUNCEMENTS:

BPD is Participating in "GovDeals" Surplus Property Sales

The Blacksburg Police Department is now set up to sell surplus equipment, such as patrol cars, vehicle cages, etc. on the on-line government auction site GovDeals.com. The auction is open to the public. We currently do not have any items for sale, but expect to have items in the future. We previously sold a 1999 Ford F-350 XL Super Duty dually pick-up truck and a 1995 F-250 XL Utility Box Bed truck , and also several other equipment items on behalf of the Town of Blacksburg. Our department previously sold three surplus Ford Crown Victoria patrol cars, a 1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2-dr Coupe, and several pieces of computer equipment. NOTE: Anyone can browse the property listings, but you must register with GovDeals.com as a buyer in order to bid on items.
