Where to report a lost item in Rome
These are the official channels. ReportLost reaches them for you and tracks the search across all of them.
Rome Police Department
Report lost items at the main police station. They maintain a lost and found log and can advise if your item has been turned in. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and generate the exact report information they need.
Rome Transit Department
If you lost your item on a Rome Transit bus or at a station, contact the Transit Department. They hold found items for a set period. We connect you with the right desk and include transit route and time details in your report.
City Hall & Municipal Services
Rome City Hall coordinates lost and found inquiries for municipal properties and can direct you to the right department. They also maintain records of items found in public areas around downtown.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, contact Floyd County Animal Control immediately. They shelter lost animals and work with local rescue networks. Community groups in Rome actively share lost pet alerts. For a faster, coordinated response with our network, file a priority lost pet report.

Start your search now
The sooner you report, the sooner ReportLost connects you with the right channels and begins matching your description against found items and community posts.
Report my lost item →Rome's downtown, neighborhoods, transit system, and local businesses form a web of separate lost and found channels. Reporting to the police takes time, reaching animal control requires a different call, checking community groups happens sporadically, and items slip through the cracks because no one connects the dots. ReportLost bridges that gap: file once, and we route your report to every relevant service in Rome and keep it searching automatically.
The difference is continuity. Once you've reported, your description stays active in the system for months, matched automatically against new found items, community alerts, and local marketplace posts. You won't spend weeks calling back the police, refreshing Facebook groups, or wondering if you've checked everywhere. Your report is working for you.
