Where Lost Items Go in East Peoria
These are the main channels where found items are logged. ReportLost connects all of them for you.
East Peoria Police Department
The police department's Records Division takes reports of lost items and can help you file an official lost property report. If your item has been turned in to them, they'll have it logged. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and generate the exact information to include in your report.
CityLink Transit Lost & Found
Items left on CityLink buses or in the transit system are held at the CityLink Transit Center. Call to check if your item has been turned in, or submit a detailed description. We guide you on the exact details to provide so they can locate your property faster.
Peoria International Airport
If you lost something in the terminal or on a flight, Peoria International Airport's Lost and Found can help. Items are logged and searchable. We make sure your report reaches the airport operations team with all the details they need to identify your belonging.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in East Peoria, connect with Peoria Animal Control & Protection Services and the active network of local lost pet groups. Your lost pet needs a specialized report to reach the right rescuers and community volunteers. File a priority lost pet report for faster visibility across shelters and foster networks.

The sooner you report, the sooner we search
The first hours and days matter most. Getting your report into the system immediately, and then letting it stay active over weeks and months, gives you the best chance of recovery. Once you've reported through ReportLost, the background work continues automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in East Peoria means contacting multiple places: the police non-emergency line, the transit center, local community groups, and checking back repeatedly over weeks. Each service operates independently, and without a coordinated report, your item can slip through the cracks as days pass.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One form goes to everyone at once, and your report stays active in the background, automatically comparing incoming found items and community posts to your description. Once you've reported, you can breathe; the team keeps searching for a match on your behalf.

Common Questions About Lost Items in East Peoria
How long will the police or transit center hold my lost item?
The East Peoria Police Department logs lost items for their records. CityLink's Lost and Found holds items for a period before disposal; call 309-676-4040 to confirm how long. Peoria International Airport holds items for a set duration. The sooner you report, the sooner we can check these locations on your behalf.
What if my item is on a CityLink bus? How do I claim it?
Call the CityLink Transit Center at 309-676-4040 with a description. If they have it, they'll guide you on pickup hours and location. We include this step in your report so you have all the contact details ready.
Do I need to go to the police department in person?
Not necessarily. You can call the East Peoria Police non-emergency line at 309-698-4700 to file a lost property report. However, if you lost something at a specific business or location, contacting that business directly is often faster. ReportLost coordinates both channels at once.
If I lost my pet, where should I start?
Contact Peoria Animal Control & Protection Services immediately at 309-672-2440, and post in local lost pet Facebook groups. These groups and animal control work together. We recommend filing a priority lost pet report so your pet's information reaches shelters, rescues, and volunteer networks fastest.

Your report stays active for your chosen search period, 12 months. During that time, it continues to match against new found items, community posts, and announcements. You don't have to do anything; we alert you the moment a credible match surfaces.
Is ReportLost.org affiliated with the East Peoria Police or city government?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We coordinate your report with the police department, transit, airport, and community groups, but we're not a government agency.
