Where to report a lost item in Agawam
These are the main channels handling lost property in town. Use them to search or claim items yourself, or let ReportLost file on your behalf.
Agawam Police Department
The Police Department is the primary channel for lost property reports in town. You can file a report in person, by phone, or online through their Citizens Online Reporting System. We file the report where the department accepts third-party filings and provide you the exact steps and phone number for situations they handle differently.
Agawam Town Hall

Local transit
If you left an item on a school or local bus, contact the transit center or the Agawam Garage. Items left on buses are typically held for 30 days. We help you identify the right transit operator and supply their contact information so you can search or request a specific item.
Bradley International Airport
Bradley Airport, located nearby in Windsor, Connecticut, handles lost items left in terminals or on flights. Items found on airport grounds are turned over to State Police. Contact the airport directly to inquire about items lost during travel.
Lost or found pet
Lost dogs and found animals are handled by the Agawam Animal Control Officer. Report a lost pet immediately, especially outside business hours, when you should contact the police dispatcher. The community also shares pet alerts on the Agawam, MA Lost & Found Pets Facebook group. For a faster, priority response, file a priority lost pet report.
Retail and public venues
Items lost at shops, restaurants, and local businesses should be reported directly to the manager. Many businesses hold items at the customer service desk for 30 to 90 days. We help you compile a clear description and list of places to contact.
