How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, city services, and your community.
We Route It to the Right Channels
Your report goes straight to the Broussard Police Department, City Hall, and the local social networks where people actually post found items. No guessing which office to call.
Your Report Keeps Searching
We don't file and forget. Your report stays active across local listings and community posts for 12 months, automatically matching new found items against your description so you don't have to refresh Facebook daily.
Where Lost Items Go in Broussard
These are the official channels. ReportLost coordinates them all in one step.
Broussard Police Department
The first stop for lost items within city limits. They keep a log of what's turned in and can advise on next steps. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and include all the information they'll need to file your report properly.
City of Broussard
City Hall maintains lost and found items that don't go to police, especially anything turned in at public facilities or during city events. We generate the exact information to include when you reach out and help you understand the city's hold and claim process.
Where You Lost It
If your item went missing at a store, restaurant, gym, or other business, staff there may have it behind the counter. We help you figure out what to say when you call and point you to the right department for claims.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog or cat, time matters and the response is different. Contact the Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center right away, post on local pet groups, and file a priority lost pet report to make sure your pet is circulated to every rescue and shelter in the region.
Community & Social Channels
Broussard residents actively share found items on Facebook and Reddit. We make sure your report reaches these networks so neighbors see it before the post gets buried.

The Sooner You Report, the Better Your Chances
Lost items move through different hands quickly. The sooner your report is live across police, city, and community channels, the sooner someone who found your ring or wallet can see it and reach out. Once your report is filed, you can stop worrying about the logistics; we keep it active and searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Broussard means dealing with multiple places at once: the police non-emergency line, the city's lost and found office, Facebook groups, and community bulletin boards all operating separately. It's easy to miss the one channel where someone actually found your wallet or ring.
ReportLost simplifies the noise. File once, and we make sure the Broussard Police Department, City Hall, and your neighbors all see the same alert. Better yet, your report keeps working for you long after you submit it, searching automatically through new posts and found-item listings so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing social media every morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the Broussard Police Department hold my lost item if someone turns it in?
The police department doesn't publish a specific hold period, so call them directly at (337) 837-6259 to ask about their lost property policies. Items may be transferred to City Hall after a period of time, which is why we make sure both places know about your loss.
Where do I claim a lost item the police or city found?
If someone turns in your item, you'll typically claim it at the Broussard Police Department (5801 Highway 90 E) with proof of ownership, or at City Hall (406 E. Madison St.) depending on where it was logged. We provide both locations on your report so you know where to check.
Should I post on Facebook or call the police first?
Both, but starting with a police report creates an official record. ReportLost files with the police and shares your report on community channels simultaneously, so you get the benefit of both without having to manage each one yourself.
How long will my report stay active with ReportLost?
You choose 12 months when you file. For that entire period, your report will cross-check new found items posted on local channels and marketplace listings. If a credible match appears, we'll alert you immediately so you can reach out and claim it.
What if I lost my item at a business, not in public?
Many items are recovered from store lost and found desks, restaurants, or gyms. Include the business name and location in your report, and we'll make sure the police report includes those details. Businesses often work with local police on lost property claims.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Broussard Police Department or City of Broussard. We don't replace filing a police report; we work alongside it, making sure your report reaches all the right local channels and stays active longer. You're always welcome to contact police and city services directly, but our service is designed to save you time coordinating between them.
