How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what you're missing, where and when you lost it, and any distinguishing details. We generate a clear, shareable description and connect you with the right local channels in Prescott.
We route it to the right people
Your report reaches the Prescott Police Department, relevant lost & found offices, community Facebook groups, and the Yavapai Humane Society (if a pet). We handle the coordination so you don't have to.
Your report keeps searching for you
While your plan is active, your report automatically checks for matches across local announcements, found items lists, and community posts. The moment a credible match surfaces, you get an alert. No daily checking required.
Where Lost Items Go in Prescott
Understanding the local system and how ReportLost bridges the gaps
Prescott Police Department
Items brought to police or found by officers end up in the evidence room. Property is held for 30 days from the date of receipt. You can claim lost property by appointment Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We'll tell you exactly which precinct or desk handles your claim and what info to have ready.
Prescott Regional Airport
If you lost something at Prescott Regional Airport (Ernest A. Love Field, PRC), contact airport administration during business hours. Items left in terminals or security areas are logged by location. We help you pinpoint which department to reach and what details to provide.
Hospitals, Hotels & Businesses
Downtown Prescott shops, hotels, restaurants, and medical offices often hold lost items at their front desk for 30 to 90 days. We provide you with a checklist of what to ask and who to contact based on your loss location, saving you a chain of phone calls.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Prescott or Yavapai County, the Yavapai Humane Society operates a dedicated Lost and Found Pet Center and takes calls 24/7. Stray dogs carry a $50 intake fee if returned by animal control. We'll guide you through the reporting process and connect you with shelters and rescue networks. File a priority lost pet report for faster placement and alerts.
Community & Social Channels
Prescott residents actively use Facebook groups like "Prescott/Prescott Valley Lost and Found" and "URGENT! LOST & FOUND ~ In Yavapai County area," as well as r/Prescott on Reddit, to share found items and pet sightings. We ensure your report reaches these spaces and keeps appearing as new posts arrive, so the community sees it long after the initial post.

Acting quickly improves your chances
The sooner you report, the sooner your item enters the system and the wider the search window. Once you've filed, you can focus on other things while your report continues working.
Report my lost item →Prescott has multiple places where belongings turn up: the Prescott Police evidence room, Yavapai Humane Society, local shops and offices, community garage sales, and online posts across Facebook groups like the "Prescott/Prescott Valley Lost and Found" and "URGENT! LOST & FOUND ~ In Yavapai County area." The problem is that each location operates independently, and searching them all yourself takes time and attention you may not have.
ReportLost compresses the legwork. File once, and we notify the Prescott Police Department (evidence line at (928) 777-1930), Yavapai Humane Society, city resources, and active local channels. Better still, your report doesn't disappear after you file it. It stays live, automatically comparing new community posts and found-item announcements to your description, so you can move forward with confidence knowing your report is still hunting for a match.
