This place has a good selection at fair prices. I picked up a LEO trade in Sig P-220 from them last year, and was very pleased overall. AIM Surplus also seems to have a good rep., though I have not personally used them.

Here are the places I've purchased LE trades from:
gideontactical
recoilgunworks
Summitgunbroker
DWJimports
The above have an online store but also on GB and on other auction sites.
Topgunsupply
Aimsurplus
Iammo
The three above just have an online store as far as I know.
I've never had a problem with any of them.

Mosincrate also does police surplus and military surplus, but I'm too slow to get in before he sells out. While I haven't done business with him as the "mosincrate" but I have done business with him when he was a regular guy on Gunboards. He was a standup guy then, I have no reason to believe he isn't one now.

I've had two from Aim Surplus, a 5906 Tactical and a M&P 9 1.0. Great service. My Model 65 came from CDNN at a great price many years ago. Big mistake was not buying a 3953 at the same time.

I don't know if they sell online or if you may have one close by your location but GT Distributors usually has a fairly good supply of Police Trade in's @ decent prices as well as Ammo (we have a local store here)

Aim surplus, aimsurplus.com - I'll second the recommend. The 3 or 4 Glocks I've bought have all been very nice.

Beware some of "Police Trades" might be confiscated firearms. On some the auctions, I've seen some "police trades" that are hipoints, odd ball taurus, and other off brand stuff.

Yeah sorry. AIM Surplus. It was mentioned in an earlier post, so I thought is was a well known vendor.

My experience with AIM Surplus has been highly favorable for acquiring surplus military firearms and police trade-ins. The most notable acquisition was an Israeli Police CZ-83 that I bought some years ago for less $300 that was in absolute mint condition; probably unissued. Periodically, they have had S&W revolver police trade-ins that looked extremely good. In my view, their online photos are highly representative of "what you see is what you get."

I just picked up a Glock 21 trade in from Aim Surplus last week. Looks like it was hardly even carried. The night sights are dim but still have a little glow to them. Trigger had an NY-1 spring and after I got rid of that the trigger is just fine and I feel like I hit a jackpot with this one. $319 but after taxes, shipping and FFL it was about $385 out the door.

L.E. Trade ins.
Aim surplus. I have bought several Glock & Sig agency trade ins from them this past year. Completely satisfied in their prices, service and the pistols I received.

I picked up a factory refurbished Glock 21 Gen 4 at a LGS a few years ago that came complete with box, mags, tools, 2 extra backstraps and all of the paperwork. I'm assuming that it was part of a bulk trade in from some agency.
