Where items end up in Alsip
And how ReportLost connects you to each one
Alsip Police Department
Lost items found in public spaces often end up here. The police department accepts reports and holds lost property. We file your report with them directly and generate the exact details they need to search their records and match against incoming found items.
Village of Alsip Hall
Village Hall is the public hub for local services and community coordination. Items turned in to municipal buildings sometimes end up here. We make sure your report reaches the right department at Village Hall so they can flag it in their systems.
Pace Bus Lost & Found
If you left something on a Pace bus or at a transit stop in the Alsip area, Pace's customer service team handles lost items. Call them directly at (847) 364-7223, or let us submit your report so they have your description on file.
Lost pets
If you've lost a dog or cat, Alsip Animal Control and South Suburban Humane Society keep records of found animals. We immediately alert animal control and the community, and your report gets cross-posted to local pet networks so neighbors know to look. File a priority lost pet report to get faster coverage.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Alsip can feel scattered. Your wallet might have ended up at the police station, a found pet could be at animal control, a bus item at Pace, or someone in the community might have it but not know how to reach you. Multiple systems, no single place that looks everywhere.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, filed once, reaches all the right Alsip services and the local community at the same time. And instead of you refreshing Facebook groups and calling around for weeks, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match automatically. The moment something matches your description, you'll know.
