Report my lost item →Losing something important in Monroe can feel unsettling, especially when you're not sure which local department handles what. The Monroe Police Department keeps lost and found property, CTtransit holds items left on buses, and shops and public spaces manage their own systems.

Your report stays active for 12 months, continuing to search automatically so you can focus on your day instead of repeatedly checking back.
