Where lost items go in Ensley
A breakdown of the local system and how ReportLost works within it
Escambia County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement agency serving Ensley and the county. You can file a lost property report here, either by calling or visiting in person. We identify the correct precinct and prepare the information you'll need to include in your report.
Pensacola Police Department
Pensacola PD maintains its own lost and found records and can file a report on your behalf. Both the Sheriff's Office and Pensacola Police maintain separate databases, so filing with both improves your chances.
ECAT (Escambia County Area Transit)
Lost something on a bus or at a transit stop? ECAT maintains a lost and found for items left on vehicles and at stations throughout the county. We'll make sure your description reaches them.
Pensacola International Airport
If your loss happened at PNS, the airport's Lost and Found Department processes recoveries. They hold items for a set period before disposal. We'll route your report there and provide you with their direct contact.
Lost pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other animal, Escambia County Animal Services is your first contact. Check 24PetConnect under the Escambia County section and contact animal control immediately. Community pet groups also actively help reunite animals with owners. For a faster, specialized lost pet report that reaches shelters, rescues, and networks across the region, file a priority lost pet report.
Retail & public spaces
Items lost at stores, restaurants, shopping areas, and parks in Ensley often end up with store managers or local business lost and found desks. Calling directly is fastest, but we'll note the location in your report so searchers know where to follow up.

The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins
Filing a report today means your item is in the system immediately, cross-checking all the places where lost and found items surface. Every day that passes, items are donated, thrown away, or moved. Starting the search now maximizes the odds that someone who found your item will see the alert before it's gone.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Ensley and the surrounding Escambia County area means dealing with multiple agencies, each with its own lost and found system: the Sheriff's Office takes reports, the Police Department maintains a separate database, ECAT transit has its own lost items, Pensacola International Airport processes airport losses, and animal control handles pets. Reaching all of them individually is time-consuming and often ineffective.
ReportLost simplifies this by taking one clear report, routing it to every relevant local channel, and keeping your item in active search for months. Instead of calling around each day or refreshing Facebook group posts, your report automatically monitors for matches across all the places where found items surface. Filing now gives your search the broadest reach and the best chance of a reunion.
