How ReportLost works
You file a single report
Describe your lost item, where you lost it in Alexandria, and when. We gather all the details we need in one straightforward form.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes to the Alexandria Police Department, local lost and found offices, and social networks that matter in your area. No need to call or visit each place yourself.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
Our system scans the web continuously, including Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and community pages, searching for posts that match your item's description, location, and timeframe. You get alerted the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing sites every day.
Where your lost item might be
Here's what to know about reporting to Alexandria's key channels. ReportLost files with all of them automatically, but here's how each works if you want to follow up directly.
Alexandria Police Department
The Alexandria Police Department accepts lost item reports and maintains records. We generate the right information and contact the department's non-emergency line for you. You can also reach them directly at (318) 449-5099 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or visit their office at 1000 Bolton Avenue, Alexandria, LA 71301.
City of Alexandria
The City of Alexandria's administrative offices can help direct your report to the appropriate department. We notify the city on your behalf, but you're welcome to call the city directly at (318) 449-5000 or contact them at P.O. Box 71, Alexandria, LA 71309.
ATRANS Public Transit
If you lost something on an ATRANS bus, the transit authority maintains a lost and found. We'll make sure ATRANS is aware of your report. You can also call them directly at (318) 441-6087 for route information or to check their lost items.
Alexandria International Airport
The TSA and airport management maintain lost and found services at Alexandria International Airport (AEX). Contact the airport directly at (318) 305-6522 if you lost an item in the terminal or during your travels.
Lost Pet Services
If you've lost a pet, specialized resources in the Alexandria area can help. The Pineville Animal Shelter and local rescue organizations monitor lost pet reports closely. We recommend calling (318) 449-5674 or texting (318) 321-0424 to report or claim a pet. For broader reach, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to ensure continuous monitoring of pet-focused networks.

The sooner you file, the sooner our monitoring system begins searching for your item across all channels. Your item may already be posted somewhere online, and we'll spot it as soon as you file.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Alexandria can feel overwhelming, especially when you're unsure whether to call the police, check with local businesses, or post on social media. The city's multiple lost and found channels—the police department, transit services, individual shops and public spaces—aren't linked, so you end up making the same calls and posts repeatedly. ReportLost eliminates that frustration by consolidating your report and handling the distribution for you.
Once you submit your information, our team and automated tools take over. We notify the Alexandria Police Department's non-emergency line and direct your report to the right departments. More importantly, we monitor social networks and online marketplaces continuously so you don't have to. Whether someone posts "Found" in a local Facebook group, on Nextdoor, or on a marketplace, our system catches it and alerts you right away, giving you the best chance of recovery without the daily stress of checking yourself.
Common places where items are lost in Alexandria
These neighborhoods and landmarks are where many reports originate. If you lost your item in one of these areas, include that detail in your report for better targeting.
Downtown Alexandria
The heart of the city, with shops, restaurants, and offices. Items are frequently lost in retail areas and on the streets here.
Third Street Area
A hub of commercial activity and civic offices. High foot traffic means lost items are common but often turned in to nearby businesses or city officials.

Parks and public spaces along the river are popular gathering spots. Lost items may be found here or reported by park visitors.
Alexandria International Airport
Travelers passing through frequently lose luggage, phones, and personal items. Report airport losses quickly to improve recovery odds.
Shopping Centers & Retail Districts
Malls and shopping areas see a high volume of lost items daily. Store managers and security often hold lost and found departments.

Frequently asked questions
How long will ReportLost monitor for my item?
We monitor continuously for 12 months, depending on your item type. Our system scans social networks, marketplaces, and community channels repeatedly during this time, so you're covered even if your item surfaces weeks or months later.
What if I lost my item at a specific business in Alexandria?
Include the business name and location in your report. We'll alert the appropriate authorities, and the business itself may contact you directly if they find it in their lost and found. Most retail stores, hotels, and restaurants hold items for 30 to 90 days, so reporting quickly to both the business and us maximizes your chances.
Do I need to visit the Alexandria Police Department in person?
No. We file the report and handle the notification. However, if you prefer to file in person or follow up, the Alexandria Police Department's main office is at 1000 Bolton Avenue, Alexandria, LA 71301. You can also call their non-emergency line at (318) 449-5099.
How does ReportLost monitor Facebook groups and Nextdoor?
Our automated system scans public posts on these platforms and other online marketplaces daily, looking for descriptions that match your lost item's details, location, and approximate date. When we find a credible match, we notify you immediately so you can follow up.
What if someone finds my item but doesn't report it online?
That's always a risk. By filing with ReportLost and the Alexandria Police Department, you increase the chance that if someone does post "Found" online or turns it in to a public office, we'll connect you. We also encourage you to check with local businesses, the airport, and transit offices directly if your item is valuable or time-sensitive.
Is ReportLost.org an official police service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We file reports with the Alexandria Police Department and other relevant local agencies on your behalf, and we provide automated monitoring that the police department doesn't offer. Think of us as a bridge that ensures your report reaches the right people and stays active in the search far longer than a standard police report alone.
