Where to report lost items in Ulysses
Whether you file with us or go direct, here's what's available
Ulysses Police Department
The Ulysses Police Department takes reports on lost and found items within city limits. You can visit in person or call to file a report. We generate the exact information you need to provide when you contact them.
Call (620) 356-3500|Visit cityofulysses.com/police-department
Grant County Sheriff's Office
If your loss occurred outside city limits or you prefer to report to county law enforcement, the Grant County Sheriff's Office maintains lost and found records and can initiate a search. We tell you which jurisdiction covers your loss location.
Ulysses City Hall
City Hall at 115 W Grant Avenue serves as a general information hub and can direct you to the appropriate department. Staff can advise on next steps for items lost in public spaces or city facilities.
Ulysses Airport
If you lost an item at the airport, contact the airport directly. They maintain a lost and found and can help locate baggage or personal items left in terminals or parking areas.
Lost Pet?
Report a missing cat or dog to Animal Control at the Law Enforcement Center right away. Time matters with lost pets, and the sooner neighbors and shelters know, the better your chances. You can also post in the Western Kansas Lost and Found Pets Facebook group to reach a wider audience. If you'd rather file through ReportLost, we handle the routing and alerts, so you can file a priority lost pet report and focus on other search efforts.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Why wait to report?
The first hours after a loss are critical. Getting your report filed early with the police, shared to community channels, and entered into active search mode increases your chances significantly. Once your report is live, you can breathe easier knowing the search is underway on all fronts.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, keys, ring, or beloved pet in Ulysses means contacting multiple offices, monitoring Facebook groups yourself, and hoping someone posts about finding it. The police department, animal control, city hall, and community channels all operate separately, and there's no single place that bridges them all. Without a coordinated report, your lost item can slip through the cracks.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report, one submission, and we take it from there. We make sure the right people at the Ulysses Police Department and Grant County Sheriff's Office know about your loss, we post to local community groups so neighbors can spot it, and we keep your report active for months so you're not stuck refreshing Nextdoor and Facebook every morning. The moment someone finds your item and reports it, we connect the dots for you.

Questions about losing and finding items in Ulysses
How long does the Ulysses Police Department hold lost items?
The Ulysses Police Department holds most lost items for a standard period before disposal. Check with them directly at (620) 356-3500 to confirm the exact timeline and to claim your item as soon as possible.
What if I lost my pet in Ulysses? What are my first steps?
Call Animal Control at the Law Enforcement Center immediately at (620) 356-3500. Post to the Western Kansas Lost and Found Pets Facebook group and local Nextdoor. If your pet ends up at the Ulysses Animal Shelter, it is held temporarily; check with them or with Animal Control about status.
Do I need to file a police report if I lost something?
Not always required, but it's recommended, especially for valuable items or if you suspect theft. A police report creates an official record and helps if insurance is involved. The Ulysses Police Department can advise you on whether a report is necessary.
What should I include when I report a lost item to the police?
Bring a detailed description (color, brand, distinctive marks), the date and location you last had it, and any serial numbers if applicable. ReportLost helps you organize this information so you're ready when you call or visit the police department.
If I use ReportLost, do I still need to contact the Ulysses Police myself?
ReportLost files your report with the relevant local agencies and posts to community channels on your behalf, so you don't have to make those calls yourself. However, if your item turns up quickly or you want to follow up directly, you're free to contact the police or Animal Control independently.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that helps you report lost items to the right local authorities and community channels. We're not part of the Ulysses Police Department or any government agency, but we route your report to them and keep it active in the search so you don't have to manage all the channels yourself.
