Exchange Zone

In order to serve the needs of our community, Fort Collins Police Services has designed two areas where citizens can meet to buy, sell, trade, or otherwise exchange items. The police station’s public lobby at 2221 S. Timberline Road is available for use as an exchange zone during Records Department operating hours. The north public outside parking lot is available for use as an exchange zone 24 hours a day/7 days a week. 

Exchanges involving weapons, drugs, or illegal items are not permitted.

Both of these exchange zones have video surveillance.

Fort Collins Police Services is not responsible for providing officers, security, or individual protection during an exchange.

Fort Collins Police Services employees cannot act as witnesses to the exchange, cannot give legal advice, and will not settle disputes related to any exchange that takes place in either of the exchange zones.  

FCPS will not provide opinions about and is not responsible in any way for the value, authenticity or legitimacy of any exchange.

In the event of an emergency, call 911.
