Where lost items go in East Hemet
Each channel handles a different type of loss. ReportLost notifies all the right ones for you.
Hemet Police Department
The Hemet Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by the public and officers. If you've lost a wallet, keys, phone, or other personal item in a public place or business in East Hemet, contact them to file a report and check what's been turned in. We generate the exact information they need and confirm your report reaches the right desk.
City Hall & Administrative Services
The City of Hemet's administrative office can help direct lost item inquiries to the appropriate city department, or provide guidance on where an item may have been turned in if it was lost at a municipal building or event. We tell you which office covers your specific loss location.

The sooner you report, the better
Filing your report early increases the chances it reaches the right people while the item is still fresh in everyone's mind. Once your report is submitted, the hard work of cross-checking and matching begins automatically, so you can focus on what matters.
Report my lost item →East Hemet spreads across several neighborhoods and commercial areas, which means a lost wallet, ring, or beloved pet can end up with any number of separate departments or community groups. Between the Hemet Police Department, animal control, local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor, it's easy to fall through the cracks if you don't know exactly where to report, or to miss a "found" post because you can't check every community board every day.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report, and we route it to the police, animal control, and active local channels. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it, your report stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new found posts and alerts so you don't have to. If a genuine match surfaces, we let you know right away.
