Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?

We work alongside official channels: we file the necessary reports with police and local agencies on your behalf, then add continuous automated matching on top. Think of us as the coordinators who make sure your item gets routed to the right place and keeps being searched for, so you don't have to manage each channel alone.
