How ReportLost works in Rockland
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details the right people need to hear.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Rockland Police Department's lost and found desk, City Hall, and gets posted to the community channels where locals actually look.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and crosses new posts, community marketplace listings, and found item reports against your description. You get an alert if a credible match shows up, so you don't have to check every group and site yourself every day.
Where to report and what to expect
Rockland has several places that hold or track lost items. Here's what each one does, and how ReportLost connects you.
Rockland Police Department
The police department holds unclaimed items in their lost and found and processes reports of lost valuables. Call with a description of your item, and they'll check if it's been turned in. We tell you exactly which precinct number to reference and generate the description to include.
Rockland City Hall
City Hall can help route inquiries and sometimes holds items turned in at municipal buildings or during city events. They're a good contact point if you lost something in a public space or at a city facility.
Lost pets need immediate action
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Rockland, call the Rockland Animal Control Officer right away at 207-593-9132, or contact Pope Memorial Humane Society at 207-594-2200. The faster you report, the better. Then file a priority lost pet report to activate our pet-focused network and community channels.
Knox County Regional Airport
If you lost something at Knox County Regional Airport in nearby Owls Head, or while traveling through, the airport's lost and found holds items for several weeks. Report the loss to them directly, and mention it in your ReportLost report so we track it across local channels too.
Greater Portland Metro buses
If you left something on a Greater Portland Metro bus or at a transit facility, file a lost item request with Metro directly. We point you to their online form and make sure your item description is clear.

The sooner you report, the better
Lost items move fast. Getting your report in now means it reaches the police, local businesses, and community channels while the trail is fresh and before something slips away. Once it's filed, you can stop worrying about who to call next.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rockland is stressful. Whether you left your wallet at a restaurant downtown, your phone at the harbor, or a ring somewhere in the community, the path to getting it back usually means calling the police, checking with local shops, posting on Facebook, and hoping someone notices. That's a lot of work, and the window closes fast.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, sent to the right people at once, and your signal stays alive in the search for months. The Rockland Police Department's lost and found, local community groups, and marketplace activity all get a match request with your item's description. You handle the report once, then we handle the rest.
