Holland Police Department

The department maintains a lost and found inventory and can file a report. ReportLost tells you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and generates the information to include when you report.
City Hall
Holland's City Hall can direct you to the right department for your lost item, especially if it was lost on city property or in a municipal building.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Lost items are easier to track down in the first few days. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, our search engines start working right away, monitoring local channels and the web continuously. You can rest knowing the effort is underway.
Report my lost item →Holland residents and visitors lose items everywhere: at MAX bus stops along River Avenue, in downtown shops, at Windmill Island Gardens, on the streets connecting the lakefront. When it happens, figuring out where to report is the hard part. The police department has one desk, MAX Transit another, Facebook groups are scattered, and most people end up calling or visiting multiple places with no guarantee anyone will see their lost item.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report and we handle the routing, alerting, and months of automated searching. While you go about your day in Holland, our system watches community channels, local marketplaces, and social networks for anyone posting about a found item matching yours. The moment something credible surfaces, you're notified. It's the peace of mind that comes from knowing the search is working, even when you're not.
