How ReportLost works in DeWitt
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details we need to alert the right places in DeWitt, from the police department to the spots where you were when you lost it.
We route it to the right channels
Your report reaches DeWitt Police, relevant lost & found offices around town, and gets posted to local community networks. No back-and-forth calls to figure out who to contact, no forms to fill out yourself.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found items, community posts, and local listings. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook groups or community boards every day.
Where to report lost items in DeWitt
Each place below holds or processes lost items in the area. ReportLost connects you to all of them in one go.
DeWitt Police Department
The Police Department is the official hub for lost item reports in DeWitt. Items turned in by residents or businesses often end up here. We file your report with them and make sure they have the right description to match against any finds.
City of DeWitt Government
DeWitt's city offices coordinate services across town and can point you to the right department for your loss. We handle the coordination so you don't have to track down multiple offices.
Local businesses & public spaces
If you lost something at a restaurant, shop, park, or public gathering spot in DeWitt, the staff or management often hold onto found items. We generate the exact details to include when you reach out, making it easier to describe what you're looking for.
Transportation lost & found
If your loss happened on a bus or in a vehicle-related setting, contact TheRide or relevant transit services directly. Items held there are typically stored for a limited time, so prompt reporting matters. We can point you to the right transit line based on where you lost it.
Airport lost & found
If you lost something while traveling through a nearby airport, each terminal has its own lost & found office. We can direct you to the right contact based on which airport and which part of the facility.
Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR)|Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)
Lost pets
A missing cat or dog needs immediate attention and ongoing visibility in the community. Report it to Animal Control and local shelters, then file a priority lost pet report to activate our pet-specific network and community alerts.

The sooner you report, the sooner we can help
Fresh reports have the best chance of reaching people who may have already found your item. Once you file with ReportLost, our team takes it from here, routing it to the right hands and keeping it in circulation across DeWitt for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in DeWitt can feel like it's gone for good, especially when you're not sure whether to call the police, check with local shops, or post on Facebook. The reality is that lost items are handled by different people in different places, and there's no single system bringing them together. A wallet left at a restaurant, a ring misplaced downtown, or a pet that slipped away from home—each one requires calls to multiple offices and daily searches across scattered online groups.
ReportLost simplifies that process. File one report with us, and we make sure the DeWitt Police Department, local businesses, and community channels all know what to look for. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you file it, it stays active and searches for a match across the community for your entire search period. You can take a breath and let the system work for you while you move forward.

Questions about reporting a loss in DeWitt

Once you report your loss to ReportLost, we make sure the police have your details and can check back with you if a match appears. Contact the police department directly at (517) 669-9131 to ask about any specific item already turned in.

Can ReportLost help me find a lost pet?
Yes, absolutely. Pets need urgent, visible action. File a priority lost pet report with us to activate our dedicated pet network and community alerts, and we'll also connect you with Capital Area Humane Society and other local shelters. Missing pets are treated as our highest priority.
How do I know if someone found my item?
Once you file your report with ReportLost, we monitor for matches across police lost & found databases, community posts, and local listings for your entire search period. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. You don't have to check multiple sources every day, our report does that work for you.
How long does my report stay active?
You choose a 6-month or 12-month search period when you file. Your report remains active the entire time, continuing to search for a match across DeWitt and surrounding areas. This means even if someone finds your item weeks or months later, your report is still there to make the connection.
Is ReportLost an official police service or city government program?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels like the DeWitt Police Department and local lost & found offices. We are not part of the government, but we partner with and report to the right official contacts on your behalf. We simplify the process and keep your report active longer than most places would, but we don't replace the police, we complement their work.
