How ReportLost works in Hazel Park
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, when and where, and any details that matter. We ask the right questions so the description reaches the right people.
We route it to the right places
We alert the Hazel Park Police Department, City Hall, SMART Bus if it was transit, Hazel Park Animal Control for pets, and post to local community groups so neighbors can help.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and cross-references new found posts, community announcements, and local social channels. You get an alert if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day yourself.
Where to report lost items in Hazel Park
These are the official channels. ReportLost contacts them on your behalf.
Hazel Park Police Department
The police department handles reports and maintains a lost and found for items turned in by residents or found at local locations. They're the first official stop for most losses. We generate the report and contact the right desk so you don't have to hunt for the exact procedure.
Hazel Park City Hall
City Hall coordinates with various city services and community resources. If your loss occurred at a city facility or community event, they can point you to the right department. We tell you which office handles your specific situation.
SMART Bus Lost and Found
If you lost your wallet, phone, or bag on a SMART bus in or through Hazel Park, the bus system keeps items for 7 business days. We confirm your loss details and submit directly to their lost and found so it's logged immediately.
Hazel Park Animal Control
Lost or found a cat, dog, or other pet? Hazel Park Animal Control Shelter (HPACS) maintains a database of strays and accepts found animals. They also have a dedicated community network on Facebook and respond to sightings. You can file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to amplify your reach instantly.

The sooner you report, the better your odds
A report filed today is monitored across local channels for months to come. Once it's in the system, the groundwork is done and you've got our team continuously cross-referencing new found items with your description.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hazel Park means checking with the police, the bus system, local shops, and community Facebook groups separately, each with different hours and procedures. It's scattered, time-consuming, and easy to miss a match. ReportLost collapses that into one report that reaches all the right channels at once.
Once your report is filed, we keep it actively searching for a match across local channels for up to a year. You can breathe easier knowing the description is out there working for you, not just sitting in one office. If your item turns up, we connect you to it before someone else claims it.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Hazel Park
How long does the Hazel Park Police Department keep lost items?
The police department holds items for a standard period, but there's no single published timeline. Items turned in are kept for weeks to months depending on the item type. This is why filing a report immediately increases your chances, as the description can be matched to newly found items in real time.
If I lost something on a SMART bus, how do I retrieve it?
SMART Bus Lost and Found holds items for 7 business days. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Contact them at the link above with your item description. ReportLost includes SMART in our routing, so the bus system is notified right away.
What if I lost my pet in Hazel Park?
Contact Hazel Park Animal Control at 248-546-4096 immediately. Check the shelter in person, post to the Hazel Park Lost & Found Pets Facebook group, and contact neighboring townships. ReportLost offers a dedicated lost pet report that amplifies your alert across community networks and keeps the search active for months.
How do I report something lost to the city?
Call Hazel Park Police at 248-542-6161 to file a lost item report, or contact City Hall at 248-546-7000. ReportLost handles this communication and also posts to community channels so neighbors can help alongside official channels.
Can I search the police lost and found online?
The Hazel Park Police Department does not maintain a searchable online database of lost and found items. You'll need to call or visit in person during business hours (Monday-Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.). ReportLost bridges this gap by keeping your description actively circulating so new matches can find you.
Is ReportLost.org affiliated with the Hazel Park Police Department or City Hall?
No, ReportLost is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Hazel Park Police Department, City of Hazel Park, or SMART Bus.
