Where to Report a Lost Item in Walton
The main channels, and what we handle for you
Boone County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement authority for Walton and Boone County. They keep records of found property and coordinate with community recovery efforts. We tell you which dispatch line to use and help you generate the exact details to include in your report.
City of Walton
Walton's municipal office can assist with lost and found coordination, especially for items found on city property or during city events. We make sure your report reaches the right department and include all the information they need.
Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky
If you lost an item on a local bus or transit vehicle, TANK maintains a lost and found. We know exactly which contact to use and what information to provide about your trip and the item.
Lost or Found Pet
Pets need speed and specificity. Boone County Animal Shelter and local rescue networks respond quickly to reports. We connect you to the right shelter, help file the details that count for pet recovery, and route your alert to pet-focused community groups. File a priority lost pet report for faster pet-specific routing and recovery support.
