How It Works
You report what you lost
Tell us what you're missing, where it disappeared, and any details that matter. We ask just enough to match your item with found reports.
We route it to the right people
Your report goes to the Jennings Police Department, the Sheriff's Office, Animal Control if it's a pet, and relevant community groups. You don't have to call each one.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items posted across local networks. We notify you instantly if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check every day.
Where Lost Items End Up in Jennings
These are the official channels and local networks. We'll tell you which ones to contact and what to say.
Jennings Police Department
The Jennings Police Department maintains a lost and found and takes reports on items lost in public spaces. We'll route your report there and generate the exact details they need to track your case.
Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas of Jeff Davis Parish and also maintains records of found property. If your loss happened outside the city limits, we'll make sure they're looped in.
City Hall & Community Services
Jennings City Hall can direct you to the right department and may hold items found on city property. We identify the department best equipped to help based on your loss location.
Lost Pets & Animal Control
The Jennings Animal Shelter temporarily houses stray animals and is the first stop for lost dogs and cats in the area. Community members also post found pets on local Facebook groups. File a priority lost pet report to accelerate your search.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your odds.
Items found today get posted to local networks, checked by animal control staff, and held by the police. The first 48 hours are critical. Once your report is filed, our team takes it from there, and your case stays in motion for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Jennings means contacting the police non-emergency line, checking the animal shelter if it's a pet, scanning Facebook groups, and hoping someone posts a photo of what you've lost. Different offices, different systems, and no single place that keeps looking for you once the initial report cools off.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and your report reaches the Jennings Police Department, Animal Control, community channels, and stays active throughout your search window. You'll know within minutes if someone's found your item, rather than scrolling posts or calling around every week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the Jennings Police Department hold my lost item if found?
The police typically hold lost property for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item's value and whether it's clearly identifiable. We recommend checking in within the first two weeks. Our report stays active longer, so you don't have to.
If I lose my pet in Jennings, where should I start?
Contact the Jennings Animal Shelter immediately at 337-821-5500, and post to the 'Lost or found pets in Jennings, Louisiana' Facebook group. Animal Control checks the shelter daily, and community members actively scan these posts. Filing a priority pet report with us ensures all channels are notified at once.
Does the Sheriff's Office handle lost items outside the city?
Yes. If your loss occurred in unincorporated Jeff Davis Parish, the Sheriff's Office at 337-821-2100 (non-emergency) is the right contact. We route your report to both if needed.
Can I file a lost item report online with Jennings Police?
For non-emergency losses, calling the Jennings Police non-emergency line at 337-821-5500 is the standard method. You can also visit City Hall at 154 N Main Street in person. ReportLost handles the reporting and routing for you, so you don't have to make multiple calls.
What if my item was lost on a rental vehicle or taxi?
Contact the rental or taxi company directly first, then file a police report if it's not recovered within 24 hours. We'll help you document the loss and keep your report active across local channels in case it shows up elsewhere.
Is ReportLost.org an official city service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies like the Jennings Police Department and Animal Control. We don't replace them, but we connect you to them faster and keep your search active longer than you could manage alone. All the agencies we contact are the real, official ones.
