The Sheriff handles lost and found reports for Charter Oak and unincorporated areas. You can file directly, or we'll make sure your report reaches the right desk and includes all the critical details.
Local businesses and public spaces
Lost items at shops, parks, or community centers often stay at the location. We help you identify which business holds lost items and what information they'll need from you to track it down.

If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, time matters. Report immediately with the Sheriff and reach out to local animal services and community shelters. For a faster, priority process tailored to lost pets, file a priority lost pet report.
