The first step for most lost items. The Police Department maintains a lost and found database and can file a report. We generate the exact information to include and tell you which precinct handles your loss location.
Grady County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers broader county areas and maintains separate records from the city police. If your loss occurred outside city limits, the Sheriff is your channel. We notify them alongside other authorities.

Cairo-Grady County Airport
If you lost something at the airport, the FBO and airport administration handle lost baggage and items left in terminals. They maintain items for a set period before disposal.
Lost pet
If your dog or cat is missing, Grady County Animal Control is your primary contact. They hold strays and match them with lost pet reports. We also alert local rescue networks and ensure your pet shows up in community searches. file a priority lost pet report
