Where to Report Lost Items in Eastpointe
Here's who to contact directly, and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Eastpointe Police Department
The police department maintains a lost and found for items recovered during their investigations and from public spaces. Call the non-emergency dispatch or visit the front desk during business hours to inquire about your item or file a report. ReportLost identifies the correct precinct and generates the details you need to provide.
City of Eastpointe
City Hall and municipal departments often receive lost items turned in by residents and business owners. Contact the city's main line to ask if your item has been reported, or to leave detailed information with the appropriate department. We point you to the right desk.
Public Transit & Local Services
If you lost your item while using local transportation or services, contact the relevant provider directly. SMART Bus serves the Eastpointe area, and Detroit Department of Transportation also operates routes in the region. ReportLost ensures your report reaches the right transit system's lost and found office.
Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)
If your loss occurred at Detroit Metro Airport, the airport's lost and found system operates separately from city services. You can file a report directly with airport operations or contact TSA if the item was left at security. We guide you to the correct airport office.
Lost Pet?
Eastpointe's Animal Control Division works from the shelter at 17850 10 Mile Road and partners with local rescues. They maintain records of found pets and can scan microchips on site. The city also offers free microchips to residents. For a comprehensive lost pet search that alerts shelters, rescue networks, and Eastpointe's active pet community, file a priority lost pet report.

Start Your Report Now
The sooner you file, the sooner our automated monitoring begins scanning for your item. Every day counts, and once you've submitted, you can breathe easier knowing the system is actively watching for you.
Report my lost item →Eastpointe has everything a growing suburb needs, but losing an item here means navigating multiple disconnected systems. Your lost phone might end up with the Eastpointe Police Department, the business where you lost it, or sitting unclaimed in a local shop. Meanwhile, someone honest may post "found" on Facebook or Nextdoor, but you'd never see it unless you're scrolling those groups obsessively every single day.
ReportLost solves this by being your single point of contact. Submit once, and we handle the routing, the alerts, and the continuous watching. Our automated monitoring stays active for months, scanning Eastpointe's social channels, classified sites, and community networks so that finding your lost item becomes a background process you don't have to manage yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Eastpointe Police keep items in their lost and found?

Contact them directly at (586) 445-5100 or visit the front desk at 16083 E 9 Mile Road to check on your specific item. ReportLost ensures your report reaches them with all necessary details.
Can I file a lost item report online with Eastpointe Police?
Eastpointe operates an Online Citizens Police Reporting System (OCPRS) for certain incidents. Non-emergency reports related to lost items may be submitted through the system. You can also call the police department or visit City Hall to file in person. ReportLost handles the routing so you don't have to figure out which channel to use.
Do I need to contact multiple agencies if I lost something?
Typically, yes. Depending on where you lost your item (a business, public space, transit), you might need to contact the police, City Hall, the specific business, or a transit agency. ReportLost sends your report to all relevant channels in Eastpointe automatically, saving you time and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
How does ReportLost monitor for my lost item?
Once you file your report, our automated system searches Eastpointe's Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, community marketplaces, social media, and public web pages repeatedly over 12 months. We cross-reference descriptions, locations, and dates to identify credible matches and alert you immediately if we find something.
What if my lost item shows up in a local Facebook group?
That's exactly what our monitoring is designed to catch. While you could manually check Eastpointe Michigan Residents Group and other local Facebook pages yourself every day, our automated scanning does that work for you and flags potential matches. You get alerted instantly instead of missing posts.
