July 2026 — Opelika, Alabama
The Opelika Police Department has announced it will use PropertyRoom.com — a national online auction platform for law enforcement agencies — to safely dispose of property that is found, recovered, or no longer needed for evidence. After legally required holding periods have passed, items will be listed on the platform for public bidding.
Items available through the OPD auctions may include bicycles, electronics, tools, jewelry, cameras, and other property. The public can browse and bid on available items at propertyroom.com. All sales are final, and buyers are responsible for all shipping and handling fees. Auctions are conducted in accordance with Alabama Code § 17-01.
The OPD noted that there is no agency-specific filter on the site — all law enforcement agency items appear together. For questions about specific items, contact the Opelika Police Department Central Evidence Unit at 334-705-5277. The new online auction program officially begins in July 2026.
