Here's what you need to know about reporting a loss locally.
Warsaw Police Department
The Police Department at Fort Wayne Street is the first place for lost or stolen items like wallets and purses. They maintain a lost and found and can file a report if your item was taken. We prepare the information you'll need and let you know which precinct handles your location.
Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office

ReportLost simplifies this. One form, one submission, and we make sure your loss gets in front of the right people right away. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. It stays active for months, automatically matching against newly found items and posts, so you don't have to check every community board and shelter page every day.
