Kodiak Police Department
The Kodiak Police Department (KPD) operates 24/7 and maintains a lost and found for items turned in by the public. We generate your report with all necessary details and submit it directly to KPD, so you don't have to worry about phrasing or what to include.

Items left on Kodiak Area Transit System buses are held at the transit office. We contact KATS directly with your description so their staff can check their holdings and flag your item if it comes in.
Community Facebook & Kodiak Island Groups
Local residents post found items constantly in Kodiak Island Dogs, Friends of Kodiak, and community pages. We place your alert in these active networks so islanders searching for lost pets or items see your case and can help.

Don't let your lost item fade from memory
The sooner you report, the sooner our system starts matching your loss against found posts across Kodiak. Every day counts, but so does every month after. Report now and let your case stay active while you get on with life.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Kodiak means reaching out to the police, checking with KATS Bus if you were on a route, contacting the City Clerk, scanning community Facebook groups, and hoping someone posts a found item in the right place at the right time. Each system works separately, and if your item doesn't show up in the first week, most people stop looking. The Kodiak Police Department handles lost property reports, but you're still responsible for staying alert across multiple channels.
ReportLost.org takes that burden off your shoulders. Submit one report and we notify the Kodiak Police Department's lost and found, alert KATS Bus staff, loop in city services, and broadcast to local community groups—all while your report continues searching automatically. If someone finds your wallet, ring, or phone and posts it anywhere in Kodiak's active lost-and-found networks, we'll spot the match and get you connected, even weeks or months later.

Is ReportLost.org an official city service or affiliated with Kodiak Police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not part of the Kodiak Police Department or the city government, but we connect your report directly to them and to the community. Think of us as a concierge service that makes sure your loss reaches all the right places at once and stays visible for months, so you don't have to manage that coordination yourself.
