Where to report lost items at Fort Riley
Each channel below handles different types of losses. ReportLost coordinates across all of them for you.

Items lost on base go to the Fort Riley Police Desk, which logs lost property and keeps records for a reasonable hold period. We identify which desk and precinct covers your loss location and generate the report details you'll need.
Riley County Police Department
If you lost something off base in Riley County, contact Riley County Police to file a found property report. They maintain a lost and found database and can check for items handed in by the public.

Don't let your lost item fade away
The sooner you file, the sooner your description reaches Fort Riley services and the community. Once your report is in, it keeps searching on your behalf for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something at Fort Riley, whether on base, at a local business, on a transit bus, or in a public area, means dealing with multiple separate reporting systems: the military police, Riley County Police, city departments, transit services, and scattered community groups. Most people end up making calls to each one individually, repeating their story, and hoping someone spots their item.
ReportLost simplifies that burden. Submit one report and we handle the routing to Fort Riley Law Enforcement, the animal shelter, public transit, and the community networks where lost items are most likely to surface. Best part: your report stays active throughout your search period, automatically matching new found items and alerts against your description, so you're not refreshing Facebook or calling around every single day. Once you file, you can breathe easy while the system works for you.
