Where to Report Lost Items in Banning
Official channels and community networks that help reunite lost things with their owners
Banning Police Department
The primary place to report a lost or found item in Banning. Their non-emergency line can file your report and direct you to the right desk based on what you've lost and where. Open 24 hours. We identify the correct precinct and generate the exact details you'll need when you call.

They maintain lists of found animals and can alert local shelters and rescue networks. The sooner you report, the sooner they can help.
