Where to Report a Lost Item in Griffin
Local agencies, shelters, and community channels that take lost item reports
Griffin Police Department
The primary point of contact for lost items within city limits. You can file a report in person or by phone; we'll tell you which station covers your loss location and help you prepare the information they need.
Spalding County Sheriff's Office
If your loss occurred in unincorporated areas of Spalding County or you need county-level assistance, the Sheriff's Office maintains lost and found records. We identify the right jurisdiction so you report to the correct agency.
City of Griffin Government
City Hall can direct lost items to the appropriate city services and advise on local procedures. We route your report details to the relevant department so you know exactly where it's been filed.
Griffin-Spalding Airport
If you lost something at the local airport, report it directly there. For connections to larger regional airports like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, we'll point you to the right lost and found office.
Lost or Missing Pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other animal, report it to Spalding County Animal Care and Control immediately, and notify local rescue groups on Facebook. Griffin Animal Care also maintains records of strays and lost pets. Acting fast increases the chance of recovery. File a priority lost pet report.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Griffin hits differently when you're unsure who to call first. The Griffin Police have their procedures, Spalding County Sheriff's Office handles their territory, local Facebook groups move fast but aren't always comprehensive, and if it's a pet, animal shelters add another layer. Each place operates independently, and you end up juggling phone calls, messages, and repeated checks across multiple sites.
ReportLost streamlines that chaos. One submission covers all the bases at once, and your report doesn't stop working once you've made your calls. It stays active throughout your entire search window, automatically cross-referencing new posts and shelter updates against your description. You're covered while you focus on other things, with a notification the instant something matches.
