How ReportLost works in Perry
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to reach the right local offices and community groups.
We route it where it matters
Your report goes to the Perry Police Department, City Hall, Raccoon River Pet Rescue (if a pet), HIRTA transit (if on a bus), and local Facebook groups so the community can help.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items reported locally. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back yourself every day.
Where to report a lost item in Perry
The local channels that matter, and what ReportLost does to simplify the process

City Hall
Perry City Hall can help direct you to the appropriate city department or office if your item was lost in a municipal building or public space. We provide the exact information needed to explain your situation.
HIRTA Flex Transit

Lost Pet Help

Start your report now
The sooner your loss is documented and routed to local channels, the sooner the community can help. Once submitted, your report keeps working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Perry hits differently when you realize the police have one lost & found, the bus system another, rescue groups manage their own records, and community pages are scattered across Facebook. By the time you've called each place, days have passed. ReportLost puts all those channels to work at once with a single report.
The real advantage is what happens after you submit: your report doesn't sit in one desk drawer. It stays live, automatically cross-checking new found items and community posts against your description for the duration of your search. You can exhale knowing the system is working for you, not the other way around.
