How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the right details to include in official filings and know exactly which local services handle each type of item.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report reaches the Imperial Police Department, Imperial Valley Transit, Imperial County Airport lost & found, and gets posted to local community channels. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your day.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community announcements. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're not manually checking every day.
Where to Report in Imperial
ReportLost connects you to these official channels and more, all at once.
Imperial Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost & found for items turned in or recovered. You can file a report in person or by phone to document your loss and give the department details about what you're looking for. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and help you phrase your report clearly.
City of Imperial Administrative Services
City Hall may receive found items or keep records of items turned in at public facilities around town. A call to the main office can point you to the right desk or log your loss in their system.
Imperial Valley Transit
If you left an item on an IVT bus, contact their lost & found within 24 hours. We generate the exact bus route and time details you'll need when you call, so they can pinpoint your item faster.
Imperial County Airport
Left a bag, wallet, or glasses at the airport? The airport's Lost & Found holds items and can help you recover them. Call early in the week during business hours for the fastest response.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog or cat, time matters. Imperial County Animal Control and local rescue networks need to hear about your missing pet right away. Reach out immediately and file a priority lost pet report to activate community alerts across the Valley.
