The Acworth Police Department maintains a lost & found for items turned in within city limits. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss and provide the contact details you'll need. You can also reach out directly with a description.
City of Acworth Services
Acworth City Hall can direct you to the right department or facility where your item might have been turned in, whether it was lost in a public building or at a city event. We generate the exact information you need when you file with us.
Public Transit & Local Bus Services

The sooner you report, the better
The first few hours matter most. The moment you realize something is lost, filing a report with us gets the word out to the right people right away. After that, your report continues searching in the background so you can focus on your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Acworth means checking with the police department, scanning Facebook groups, calling local businesses, and hoping someone posts about it on Nextdoor. That's a lot of ground to cover, and it's easy to miss something in the noise. The Acworth Police Department and local lost & found offices each hold items separately, and community volunteers post finds on Facebook and PawBoost, but there's no single thread connecting them all.
ReportLost bridges that gap. Submit one report and we notify the right channels on your behalf, from day one. Better yet, your report stays active in the background for months, continuously cross-referencing new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts with your description. You can take a breath and let the search continue while we work for you.
