How ReportLost works in Westlake
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. Upload photos if you have them. We generate a clear, searchable report with all the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Westlake Police Department, Calcasieu Parish Animal Services, local Facebook groups, and other key channels all at once. You don't have to call around.
Your report keeps searching automatically
For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new found items, social posts, and community listings. You get an alert if a credible match surfaces. No daily checking required from you.
Where to report and what happens next
Each channel has a role. We can help you navigate them all at once.
Westlake Police Department
File an official lost property report with local law enforcement. The police keep found items for a holding period and can match your loss with what comes in. We generate the exact information you'll need and let you know which precinct covers your loss location.
City Hall & Services
City Hall at 1001 Bob Hardey Drive serves as a hub for municipal services and can direct you to the right department for your lost item. Call (337) 433-0691 if you need guidance on where to file or follow up.
Lake Charles Regional Airport
If your loss happened during travel or at the airport, Lake Charles Regional Airport's Lost and Found operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We'll point you to the right desk and help you track follow-ups.
Lost & Found Pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, report it to Calcasieu Parish Animal Services and the Lake Charles Animal Services & Adoption Center immediately. They're your fastest path to recovery. We can help you coordinate across all local animal channels and keep your lost pet alert active until you're reunited. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the better.
Early reporting means the description spreads faster through the police system, animal services, and community networks. Once your report is live, you can stop scrambling—our system continues searching for you automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or pet in Westlake can feel urgent. You might check the police station, call City Hall, post to Facebook, reach out to animal services, and refresh each channel daily, hoping someone finds it. But these places don't always talk to each other, and by the time you've made all the calls, a few critical hours have passed.
ReportLost simplifies the process. File one report, and we immediately notify the Westlake Police Department, Calcasieu Parish Animal Services, and local community channels. Then your report stays active in the background, automatically crossing new found items and posts against your description for months. You can take a breath while we keep searching for you.

Questions about losing and finding items in Westlake
How long does the police department hold found items?
The Westlake Police Department typically holds lost property for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item and circumstances. We recommend filing your report as soon as possible so the police can match it with incoming found items. Check with the police department directly at (337) 433-0691 or via their Facebook page for specific holding periods.
What should I do if my pet goes missing in Westlake?
Contact Calcasieu Parish Animal Services and the Lake Charles Animal Services & Adoption Center immediately. Report your pet to both agencies and post to the 'Lost And Found Pets for Westlake, La' Facebook group. You can also file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost, which keeps your alert active and searchable across multiple channels for months.
How do I report a lost item at the airport?
If you lost something at Lake Charles Regional Airport, call their Lost and Found at (337) 477-6051 ext. 6 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). Items are typically held for 30–90 days. ReportLost can help you organize your claim and track follow-ups.
What information should I include when filing a lost item report?
Include a clear description (color, size, distinguishing marks), exactly where and when you lost it, and any photos. If it's a valuable item with a serial number or ID, include that too. ReportLost guides you through gathering and formatting this information so the police and community can search effectively.
Can I search for found items before filing a report?
Yes. You can browse the Westlake Police Department's communications, post in local Facebook groups, and check the airport lost & found. But these channels don't always cross-reference each other, and new items appear daily. ReportLost automates this checking for you—your report stays active and matches continuously for 12 months.
Is ReportLost.org official or part of the Westlake Police Department?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We are not part of the police department, but we partner with them and route your report to them directly. We also alert local community networks and keep your case active in the background. Think of us as the connective layer that saves you time coordinating across multiple agencies.
