Where lost items are handled in Cromwell
Contact information and what to do if you find something
Cromwell Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in to the station. Call their non-emergency line during business hours to check if your item has been found and turned in. We tell you which details to provide and can file the report on your behalf where the department accepts third-party reports.
Town Hall and Town Clerk
The Town Clerk's Office at Town Hall handles municipal records and can direct you to the right department for items lost on municipal property or in town facilities. They're open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ReportLost generates the exact contact information and details you'll need.
CT Transit Bus Lost and Found
If you left something on a local bus, CT Transit maintains a centralized lost and found. You can call their customer service line or visit their lost and found office by appointment during business hours. Items are typically held for a set period before being discarded. We can help you file a report that CT Transit will cross-reference when items come in.
Bradley International Airport
If you lost an item while traveling through Bradley Airport in Windsor, the Connecticut State Police operate the lost and found. Items are held for six months. Call their lost and found desk to inquire; for TSA-specific items, you may need to file a separate claim. We can point you to the exact process.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog or cat in Cromwell, contact Cromwell Animal Control immediately. They coordinate with the shelter located in Middletown and work with local rescue efforts to locate missing pets. Time matters for pet safety, so call right away and post to local pet groups. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner your loss is reported, the sooner we can route it to the right departments and community networks. Once filed, your report stays active for a year, searching for matches automatically so you can focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Cromwell means checking multiple places: the Police Department office on West Street, the Town Hall on the same block, the bus system if you were riding CT Transit, or Cromwell Animal Control if you've lost a pet. Each agency keeps its own records, making it tedious to contact them all and track responses over time.
ReportLost simplifies that process. File once through our form, and we handle the routing to the relevant Cromwell departments, post to the local community groups where people share found items, and maintain your report for a full year so you're not constantly retracing your steps. Once you've reported your loss, our team takes it from there.
