Where to report a lost item in Russellville
Know your options, but let us handle the coordination.
Russellville Police Department
The primary place to report lost or found items in Russellville. The police department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by the community and businesses. We'll file your report and make sure the right detective or records officer knows to check for matches.
City of Russellville
Items lost at City Hall or in public city spaces can be reported to the City of Russellville's administrative office. We'll point you to the right department and ensure your lost item details are logged.
Local businesses and public spaces
If you lost your item at a store, restaurant, gas station, or other local venue, contact that business directly. Many keep found items for 30 to 90 days. We'll help you draft the details to share when you call, so you describe your lost item clearly.
Lost pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Russellville or Franklin County, contact the local animal clinic and post in community pet groups immediately. The sooner your pet's information reaches shelters and neighbors, the better. Then file a priority lost pet report with us to keep your search active across the network.

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or other important item in Russellville can feel overwhelming. The police department has their own lost and found, the city has another, local businesses keep items separately, and community groups post on Facebook and local channels. Finding your lost item means reaching out to each one individually, waiting for callbacks, and hoping someone checks the same places you do.
ReportLost simplifies that. You file one detailed report with us, and we route it to the Russellville Police Department, City Hall, and active community networks in Franklin County. Your report stays active throughout your entire search period, automatically cross-checking new found-item posts and announcements so you don't have to refresh social media and community pages every morning. When a credible match appears, we alert you—giving you the best shot at getting your item back.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Russellville Police Department keep lost and found items?
The Russellville Police Department typically holds lost items for a set period before disposal, though exact timelines can vary. We recommend contacting them at 256-332-2230 as soon as you realize your item is missing, and filing your report with us so the search stays active while you follow up with the department directly.
Where do I actually pick up a lost item after it's been found?
If your item is located, the entity holding it (police, a business, or a community member) will contact you. We'll make sure your phone number and best contact method are included in the report so they can reach you. You may need to provide proof of ownership (a photo, receipt, or ID) when you collect it.
Can I report a lost item if I'm not in Russellville right now?
Yes. You can file a report with us online, even if you're out of town. Provide as much detail as you can about where and when you lost the item, and we'll route the report to the right Russellville channels. If it's been found and turned in, the holder will reach out to you.
What should I include in my lost item report to improve my chances?
Include a clear description (color, size, distinctive marks or initials), the exact date and approximate location you last had it, and the best phone number to reach you. If you have a photo of the item, even better. We'll use all of this to alert the police and community, so be as specific as possible.
How long will my report stay active with ReportLost?
You can choose a 6-month or 12-month search period when you file. During that time, your report automatically checks for matches across lost and found posts, community channels, and local networks. Once the period ends, you can renew if you'd like to keep searching.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates your lost item report with official channels like the Russellville Police Department, City Hall, and local businesses. We're not a government agency, but we speed up the process by routing your information to all the right places at once. You're never replacing a police report—we're making sure your item gets the attention of the right people, faster.
