Where to report in Trinidad
Local channels and what they handle
Trinidad Police Department
The Police Department is your main point of contact for lost items found on the street, in vehicles, or at local businesses. They also coordinate with the community and field calls from people who've discovered items. We make sure your report reaches the right desk, even after hours through their non-emergency dispatch.
City of Trinidad City Hall
City Hall can help coordinate lost item reports across municipal departments and public spaces, and they maintain records for items turned in at city facilities. We ensure your report gets logged with the right coordinator so it's not overlooked.
City of Trinidad Animal Shelter
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the Animal Shelter is where found animals are brought and registered. They're open Monday through Saturday, 11 AM to 4 PM, and they coordinate with local rescue groups. For after-hours found pets, the Trinidad Police Dispatch can help. To report a missing pet with full priority support, file a priority lost pet report.

The Lost and Found in Trinidad, Colorado Facebook group is where neighbors actively post and search for missing items and pets. Local residents also check Nextdoor and community bulletin boards. We publish your loss to these channels so word spreads fast.

The sooner you report, the better
Once your report is filed and routed, you can relax. The Trinidad Police, the Animal Shelter, community groups, and our active search all take it from there. Most recovered items are found within the first week or two, but your report stays on the job for up to 12 months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Trinidad can feel scattered, especially when the Police Department, City Hall, the Animal Shelter, and various community groups all handle items separately. A wallet left at a local business, a ring misplaced at a park, a dog spotted near Main Street, a phone forgotten in a vehicle—each has a different reporting path, and most of them require you to remember which office handles what.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File one report and we make sure every relevant channel in Trinidad knows about your loss. Better yet, your report doesn't just sit in a filing cabinet. It stays active, continuously matching against new found item posts and alerts across local networks for months, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and bulletin boards every morning. Once you've reported, the work of keeping your loss visible is ours.
