How ReportLost Works in Jacksonville
You report your loss
Fill out one simple form describing what you lost, where, and when. We ask for the details that matter most to the right local agencies.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Jacksonville Police, the relevant lost and found offices, and gets shared across local community groups and social networks where people actively post found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you move on with your day, your report continues to match against new found items posted in the community, on local marketplaces, and through area social channels. We'll alert you the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back repeatedly yourself.
Where to Report & How ReportLost Helps
Here's who holds lost items in Jacksonville and how we simplify the process.
Jacksonville Police Department
The police hold items turned in by the public and manage found property. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and draft the details to include when you contact them.
City Hall & Municipal Services
Jacksonville's city administration can direct you to the right department for lost items found in public spaces or municipal facilities. We include city hall contact info in your report so you have it ready.
Local Bus & Transit
Lost items on RideJAX buses go to the dispatcher. We identify if your loss might be on transit and provide you with the right dispatcher contact to call within 24 hours of your trip.
Lost Pet
Jacksonville Animal Services reunites lost pets with their families and works with local community groups to spread the word. We notify them of your lost pet and keep your report active across all the community pet networks. If your loss is a furry friend, file a priority lost pet report.
Clinton National Airport (LIT)
Traveling through Clinton National Airport (about 20 minutes north)? Items left at security or in the terminal go to Airport Customer Service. We can include this step if your loss happened at the airport.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching.
Once your report is submitted, the clock starts on active searching. Your loss gets routed to Jacksonville Police, local animal services if relevant, transit, and community channels right away. Then you can step back, knowing your report is working for you in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Jacksonville puts you in a frustrating spot: is it with the police, at the animal shelter, stuck on a bus, in someone's hands on Facebook, or long gone? Each place operates separately, and calling around to each one takes hours. The systems don't talk to each other, and neither do the people posting found items across different community channels.
ReportLost cuts through that maze. One report to us, and we route it to the Jacksonville Police Department, Jacksonville Animal Services, local transit if relevant, and the community groups where people share found items. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for a match for the entire search period you choose, so you're not juggling phone calls or scrolling through posts every day.

Questions About Reporting Lost Items in Jacksonville
How long does the Jacksonville Police hold lost property?
The Jacksonville Police Department holds found items for a standard period before disposal. We recommend reporting within 24 to 48 hours to maximize your chances. Your report with ReportLost stays active for 12 months, so even if the police release an item, we keep checking community channels and new postings.
What if I lost a pet in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville Animal Services at 217 South Redmond Road is your first stop, and they work closely with local community groups. We route lost pet reports directly to them and also notify the active pet recovery networks on Facebook and Nextdoor. For a faster, dedicated process, file a priority lost pet report through ReportLost.
How do I claim a found item once it's located?
If your item is found through a police report, the department will contact you. If it's posted in a community group or on social media, you'll be alerted and can reach out directly. We help you verify the match and coordinate pickup or shipping. Check with Jacksonville Police or the relevant finder for any identification or proof-of-ownership requirements.
Does ReportLost replace filing a police report?
No. ReportLost is a companion service. We route your report to the police and other official channels for you, but you're welcome to file a formal police report independently if you prefer. Our value is in saving you the calls and keeping your report active and searchable across community channels for months.
What if I lost something on a RideJAX bus?
Contact the RideJAX dispatcher at 618.549.0301 as soon as possible with details. Items are typically held briefly at the depot. Our report includes this step and ensures RideJAX is notified, so you don't have to remember the number.
Is ReportLost.org an official city service or police department?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of any government agency. We partner with Jacksonville Police, Animal Services, and local community channels to distribute your report and keep it active. We're a shortcut that saves you from making multiple calls and manually checking different websites and groups every day.
