Where and how to report in Paramount
Know your options. ReportLost handles the legwork so you don't have to.

The official place to report lost items and file a police report if theft is involved. They can also let you know if your item has been turned in. We tell you which contact method works best and what information to have ready.
Paramount City Hall
Your first contact for general lost item inquiries, community services, and information on where items are typically held in the city. We generate the exact details you need to ask about when you call or visit.
Paramount Transit Services
If you left something on a local bus, the transit department will help you track it down. We make sure your report mentions the right route and time so retrieval is faster.
Ontario International Airport (Nearby)
If your item was lost at a local airport, Ontario and Long Beach are your closest options. ReportLost points you to the right lost and found office and tells you the window for item retention.
Lost Pet?
Dogs and cats need urgent action. Contact SEAACA or the LA County Animal Care Center in Downey, which covers Paramount. We also help get the word out on local pet groups and rescue networks. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we search.
The first hours matter, but that doesn't mean you need to panic or rush. Filing your report early gives us the best chance to cross-reference it with incoming found item posts and community tips. Once it's filed, your report is in motion and you can breathe.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Paramount means navigating multiple channels at once. You might call Public Safety, check Facebook community groups, post on Nextdoor, visit local shops, and hope someone turns it in. Meanwhile, time passes and trails go cold. Different agencies hold items separately and for different lengths of time, and there's no single place keeping an eye out for you across all of them.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, filed once, reaches the right officials and community channels instantly. Then our system keeps your report active, automatically searching local social posts and announcements for matches while you get back to your day. No refreshing pages daily, no second-guessing which agency to call, no wondering if your item has been lost for good.
