How ReportLost works in Erie
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where it happened in Erie, and when. We gather the details the right channels will actually need.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Erie Police Department, Town of Erie services, and relevant local community channels all at once, so you don't have to make multiple calls.
Automated search finds your item
Our system scans the web continuously, including local Facebook groups, community pages, marketplaces, and neighborhood networks, alerting you the moment a credible match appears. You don't check back daily, we do.
Where to report a lost item in Erie
We contact these on your behalf, or you can reach them directly.
Erie Police Department
The Erie Police Department handles lost and found reports. For non-emergency losses, you can also visit their office in person. We identify which precinct or desk handles your specific location and prepare the details they'll need.
Town of Erie Town Hall
Town Hall can point you to municipal lost and found services and coordinate with other town departments. We route your report so you don't have to explain your loss multiple times.
Phone: 303-926-2700|Email: contactus@erieco.gov|Visit: erieco.gov
RTD (Regional Transportation District)
If you lost something on an RTD bus or at a transit stop, contact RTD Customer Care. We ensure your item description matches their procedures and gets logged with the right system.
Phone: 303-299-6000 (Option 3)|Visit: rtd-denver.com/lost-and-found
Erie Municipal Airport
Erie Municipal Airport (EIK) handles lost items from the terminal and adjacent areas. We generate the right contact info and ensure your report reaches airport staff.
Lost or found a pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other animal, the process is different and more time-sensitive. The Erie Police Department, local animal networks, and specialized pet recovery services need to know immediately. File a priority lost pet report and we'll coordinate with animal control, shelters, and community pet groups in your area.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Every hour counts when something goes missing.

Once your report is filed, we handle the searching while you get on with your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Erie hits different when you realize there's no single place to report it.

ReportLost changes that. One submission gets your loss in front of all the right channels at once, and our automated monitoring keeps searching the entire web for you, 24/7, for months. Once you report, you can breathe, we're on it.

Common questions about lost items in Erie
How long does the Erie Police Department hold lost items?
Check with the Erie Police Department at 303-441-4444 for their retention policy. Most police departments in Colorado keep items for 30 to 90 days before donating or disposing of them, so early reporting is important.
What should I include in my lost item report?
Describe the item (color, brand, distinguishing marks), say exactly where you lost it (specific store, street, or intersection in Erie), and provide the date and approximate time. We generate this information in the right format for each channel.
Can I file a report for something lost on RTD?
Yes. Contact RTD Customer Care at 303-299-6000 and press Option 3 for Lost and Found, or report online at rtd-denver.com/lost-and-found. We can include RTD in your report so they're notified right away.
What if I lost something at Erie Municipal Airport?
Contact the Town of Erie or the airport directly through erieco.gov/Airport. If your loss involved an airline, also reach out to that airline's lost and found. We ensure both channels are alerted.
How does ReportLost's automated monitoring work?
We continuously scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Reddit, marketplaces, and other public web channels for posts matching your item's description, location, and date. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert, so you don't have to refresh community pages yourself for weeks.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Erie Police Department or Town of Erie. We don't replace official reporting, we streamline it by ensuring your loss reaches the right official channels and then keep searching for you automatically. You're still filing with real local authorities, just more efficiently.
