Where to report a lost item in Port St. John
We handle the routing. Here's what each resource does.
Brevard County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement agency covering Port St. John. If you've lost property in a public space or need an official incident report, the Sheriff's Office logs it and maintains a lost and found database. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and can generate the details you'll need to file.
Space Coast Area Transit (SCAT)
If you left your item on a bus or at a transit stop in the Port St. John area, SCAT's Lost and Found handles retrieval. They keep items for a set period before disposal. We can point you to the right depot and provide the bus route and time details they'll ask for.
Lost or found a pet?
If your furry friend has gone missing, Brevard County Animal Services and local shelters in Melbourne and surrounding areas are your first call. They scan for microchips and post found animals. The community is active on Facebook, and we can amplify your post across local pet networks. File a priority lost pet report to reach shelters and rescue groups immediately.
Brevard County Government & City Services
