How ReportLost Works
You file one report
Describe your lost item, where you lost it, and when. We generate the right information needed for each local channel.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Dodge City Police Department, Ford County Sheriff's Office, local transit authorities, airport lost and found, animal services if needed, and community groups all at once.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and automatically crosses new found posts, community alerts, and marketplace listings against your item's description. You get notified the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook, Nextdoor, and community boards every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Dodge City
The official channels we connect you with, and what happens at each one
Dodge City Police Department
The Police Department handles lost and found reports and can tell you which precinct covers your loss location. Items may be held there temporarily. We route your report directly to them and generate the exact incident information to include.
Ford County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers broader county areas and may have items reported through their communications center. If your loss occurred outside the city proper, they're often the point of contact. We tell you when to include them in your report.
Dodge City Hall
City Hall maintains a general lost and found for items found at municipal buildings and public spaces. Reporting through City Administration ensures your item is logged if it's turned in to city staff.
Dodge City Public Transportation (D-TRAN)
Lost something on a D-TRAN bus or at the Santa Fe Depot Transit Center? We point you to the right transit office and help you include all identifying details about where and when you lost the item.
Dodge City Regional Airport
Items left at the airport terminal, in shops, restaurants, or on aircraft are tracked separately. We guide you to contact the airport directly and, if your item was on a flight, the airline's lost baggage system.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the Dodge City Animal Shelter, Ford County Humane Society, and local vets are your first stops. Community groups like 'Dodge City Reuniting Lost/Found Pets' post sightings quickly. For urgent pet searches, file a priority lost pet report instead.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Once your report is filed, the waiting and checking stops. We take it from there, routing your information to every relevant office and keeping your item in an active search for the entire period you choose. Report now, and let the system work.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Dodge City means reaching out to several separate offices, each with their own hours and procedures. A phone call to the police department might not include the transit system or the airport. A post in a community group reaches neighbors but misses the formal lost and found at City Hall. ReportLost bridges that gap.
With one report, we notify every relevant local channel at once and keep your item in an active search loop for up to 12 months. Your description stays live across new found posts, alerts from the Animal Shelter, community updates, and marketplace listings. Instead of checking multiple channels yourself each day, your report works for you while you focus on other things.
