Westminster Police Department
The police department handles lost and found reports for items lost throughout town. We file your report with them and provide you with their direct contact information and hours so you can follow up.

Boston Logan Airport
Boston Logan, the nearest major airport, maintains a lost and found office on the Arrivals level between Terminals C and E. Items are held and searchable by description and date.
