Know the main channels, but let us handle the footwork
Loves Park Police Department
The primary point of contact for lost items recovered on local streets, parks, and public areas. Reports filed here stay on record, but you'll need to call back to check status. We file the report for you and keep track of its progress.

City Hall handles lost items found in municipal buildings, parks, and facilities. You can report in person or by phone, but hours are limited to weekdays. We generate your report and provide the exact information to include.
Pace Bus Lost & Found

Lost Pets
The Machesney/Loves Park area has active lost and found pet groups on Facebook, and Tails Humane Society covers Kane County. If you've lost a pet, time matters. We alert these networks immediately and keep your pet's profile active in their searches for the duration of your report. You can also file a priority lost pet report with us for faster, more targeted distribution.
