We notify the right places
Your report is sent to the Brewer Police Department, City of Brewer departments, Community Connector bus lost & found, and relevant local networks, so you don't have to contact each one separately.

For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to cross-check new found items, marketplace posts, and community reports. We'll alert you as soon as a credible match appears, so you can sit back and let the system work.
Where to report a lost item in Brewer
Official channels and what each one handles
Brewer Police Department
The Brewer Police Department is the central point for lost and found reports in the city. You can file a report in person at their public safety reception area (Monday–Friday, 8 am to 4 pm) or by phone anytime. We determine which precinct or unit covers your loss location and make sure your report reaches the right desk.
City Hall
Brewer City Hall can assist with lost items found in city buildings and public spaces, and can direct you to the appropriate municipal department. We can help you identify what information to provide and which city office handles your specific situation.
Community Connector Bus
If you lost something on the Community Connector fixed route bus system, contact them directly at City Hall's transit office. We point you to the right lost and found procedure and generate the exact details you'll need to provide.
Bangor International Airport
Bangor International Airport is the nearest major airport, about 5 miles from downtown Brewer. If you lost an item during travel, contact their lost and found line.
Lost and Found Pets
If your cat or dog has gone missing in Brewer, alert the Bangor Humane Society, local animal shelters, and Maine Lost Dog Recovery immediately. Post on the Maine Lost & Found Pets Facebook group and PawBoost to reach the broadest audience fast. We can help you file a priority lost pet report that stays active across all these channels at once.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report it, the better your chances
The first hours and days after a loss matter most. Reporting early gives the Brewer Police Department, local businesses, transit staff, and community groups the best window to spot your item or pet. Once you've filed a report with us, our team handles the routing and follow-up, so you can focus on other steps.
Report my lost item →In a town like Brewer, losing something valuable means navigating separate departments, community groups, and bus systems all at once. Whether your wallet slipped out downtown, your ring went missing at a local business, or your cat got out of the house, the people who might have found it are scattered across the Brewer Police Department, City Hall, transit services, and Nextdoor and Facebook groups. Handling each channel yourself takes time and energy.
ReportLost simplifies that process. You file one report with us, and we route it to the right channels immediately, including local lost pet networks if needed. Better still, your report stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new found items and community posts so you're not refreshing Facebook groups and websites every day. Once you've reported it with us, you can breathe easier knowing the search continues behind the scenes.
