How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We handle the paperwork and know exactly which Monroe agencies handle each type of item.
We Route It Everywhere That Matters
Your report reaches the Monroe Police Department, Monroe Transit, Monroe Regional Airport lost & found, local animal shelters, and gets matched to the right precinct or service desk without you juggling phone numbers.
Automated Monitoring Finds Your Match
We scan Monroe's Facebook lost & found groups, Nextdoor, classified ads, and regional networks for weeks automatically. You don't have to refresh the same pages daily; we alert you the moment a credible match appears.
Where Items End Up in Monroe
Here's what to know about each channel, and what ReportLost does on your behalf.
Monroe Police Department Lost & Found
The Monroe Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by the public or recovered at accident scenes. We verify which precinct covers your loss location and file the report for you, then follow up with the department's Records Bureau.
Monroe Transit Bus Services
Lost something on a Monroe Transit bus? Items are collected by drivers and held at the transit office. Call or visit during business hours to check, or we can file a detailed report and monitor their system for you.
Monroe Regional Airport (MLU)
If you left an item in the terminal or lost baggage during travel, Monroe Regional Airport has a dedicated lost & found near the baggage claim area. Security and airline staff maintain separate systems; we help you navigate both.
Lost Pet? Priority Help Needed
Missing a dog or cat in Monroe or West Monroe? Local animal control at Well Road and the Humane Society of Monroe both take lost pet reports and scan for matches. Speed matters for pets. File a priority lost pet report
City Hall & Local Government
Items found in city parks, public buildings, or during city events sometimes end up at City Hall administration. We help you determine if your loss might be there and contact the right department.
Local Facebook & Social Groups
Monroe residents actively post found items in Facebook groups like 'West Monroe Lost and Found' and 'Lost And Found Pets In Ouachita Parish.' We cross-post your report to these channels and scan them continuously so you're never out of the loop.

The Sooner You Report, the Sooner We Start Watching
The first hours matter. Items get turned in right away, and social posts pile up fast. Filing your report now means our automated monitoring kicks in immediately, catching potential matches before they scroll out of sight.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Monroe can feel isolating when you're not sure where to start. Police reports, transit lost & found offices, the airport, animal control, plus a half-dozen Facebook groups scattered across Ouachita Parish, all with different phone lines and hours. The real hurdle isn't finding one place to report, it's keeping track of all of them and checking back for weeks to see if anyone's found your item.
ReportLost streamlines that entire process. File once, and we notify the right Monroe agencies, publish your item to local social channels, and monitor the web nonstop so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing lost & found postings. Your item gets the broadest reach and the steadiest watch.
