Know the right channel, or let us handle it.
Winfield Police Department
Items found in public areas, lost during police interactions, or turned in by residents often end up here. The police can log your loss and hold items for a set period. We make sure your report reaches the right desk and precinct.
Cowley County Sheriff's Office

If you lost something at Strother Field (the local airport), contact airport operations. Items left in terminals or during air travel are logged separately. We can point you to the right desk.

Your wallet might end up at City Hall, your phone could be sitting at the police desk, and meanwhile you're calling around trying to piece together where to look. Community groups on Facebook help, but they only catch what people post in that moment, not items turning up days or weeks later.
ReportLost simplifies everything. One report reaches the Winfield Police Department, the Cowley County Sheriff's Office, local businesses, and community channels all at once. Better yet, your report stays active for the duration of your search, continuously matching against new found items and posts so you don't have to.
