These are the official channels we alert when you file. You can contact them directly too, but ReportLost does it for you.
Northville Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost-and-found for items turned in by the community or found during patrols. We tell you which precinct covers your location and file your report with the right desk so they're watching for your item.

Northville residents share lost-and-found posts on Facebook groups like 'Northville, Michigan, Lost and Found Pets' and 'Northville and Novi' community pages, as well as Nextdoor.
