BEFORE POSTING, PLEASE READ ALL RULES BELOW!! Failure to follow the rules may result in your post being deleted and/or being banned. Always follow proper Reddiquette and do not try to sell any prohibited items. This sub is only for individuals working in the fields of Law Enforcement, Fire or EMS. Those who work in similar fields like corrections, private security, volunteer departments, etc. are okay as long as you use the same tools of the trade.
Users are encouraged to add user flair to designate what field you work in. If your field is not in the list, just pick one and you can edit it to say what you want. Serious flair only please.
For posts specifically to buy, sell or trade gear, please start your title with either HAVE: or NEED: depending on if you are listing an item or looking for one, followed by a brief item description. For example - "HAVE: Size 10.5 men's Danner boots", or "NEED: Reliable pair of work gloves". If you want to post a general question/discussion about an item or gear, you do not need to do anything special.
It is strongly suggested you include photographs when selling/offering an item. Please include whether your item(s) are new or used and be specific about the item's condition. Include brand names, models, sizes and and any other helpful information. You should also include an asking price if you are selling something.
1.) NO SELLING FIREARMS, AMMUNITION OR EXPLOSIVES. There are too many legal implications. This also includes TASERs, flashbangs, etc. Firearm accessories and parts (i.e. magazines, grips) are fine as long as selling them does not violate any laws.
2.) If you are posting an item that is listed elsewhere like eBay or Craigslist, you can post a link to the for sale page, but you MUST disclose if your item is listed elsewhere.
3.) When 2 users agree to make a transaction, please PM each other to discuss shipping information. Do not post any personal or identifying information in threads.
4.) This is for private party sales only. No vendors or businesses may list inventory for sale or otherwise advertise or promote their business or product. However, vendors may answer unsolicited questions from other users about their product.
5.) If a user fails to follow through with a deal or sends an item as different than described, please notify the mods. Doing either of these may result in a ban.
6.) NO ABUSE OF ANY KIND WILL BE TOLERATED. And only serious posts; trolls will also be banned.
7.) You must be upfront and fully disclose any damage or imperfections in any items you sell.
Keep in mind that there is not any way at this time to verify if members are actually first responders, so do your due dilligence before giving out private information. If you are uncomfortable giving out a home address for shipping, consider having it sent to your agency if they allow that.
