Where lost items go in Covington
Here's what happens when someone finds something, and where to look.
Covington Police Department
The Covington Police Department takes lost property reports and holds found items. When you file with us, we make sure your report reaches the right desk. You can also report directly to them at 985-892-8500 (non-emergency) or visit them in person at 222 East Kirkland Street.
City of Covington Records & Admin
The City of Covington's main office can direct you to the appropriate lost and found channels and help with questions about property recovery procedures. We tell you exactly which department handles your type of item so you know where to follow up.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Covington, the North Shore Humane Society is your first stop. They maintain a lost pet registry and can help get your pet's information into the community. Call 985-892-7387 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or stop by their location at 20384 Harrison Avenue. For immediate help and to keep your pet's case active for months, file a priority lost pet report.
Community Networks
Covington residents actively share lost and found posts on local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. We post your report where these networks will see it so neighbors can help keep an eye out. The larger the reach, the better your chances.

Getting your report in fast helps
The sooner you file, the sooner we can route your loss to all the right channels and activate the continuous search. Once your report is live, you can take a breath, knowing it's working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something important in Covington can feel overwhelming, especially when you realize how many separate places you'd need to contact: the police, local animal shelters if it's a pet, social media groups, and various lost and found offices scattered around town. Each place operates independently, and there's no central system to make sure your loss gets reported everywhere it needs to go.
ReportLost simplifies that entirely. File one report, and we handle the routing to the Covington Police Department, the North Shore Humane Society, and active community networks. Better yet, your report stays active for your entire search period, continuously matching your item against new found posts and shelter intakes so you don't have to check websites and groups every single day.
