How ReportLost Works in Florissant
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details we need in one straightforward conversation, so you don't have to figure out which city office or department to contact first.
We route it to the right places
Your report gets delivered to Florissant Police, City Hall, Metro Transit Lost & Found (if applicable), St. Louis County Animal Control (for pets), and posted across local Facebook groups and community networks where neighbors and businesses actively help reunite people with their belongings.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you go about your day, your report stays active and continues matching incoming 'found' reports, marketplace listings, and community posts against your description. The moment a credible match appears, you'll get an alert so you can recover your item without having to check social media and lost & found boards yourself every single day.

Each channel below handles a specific type of loss. ReportLost alerts all of them at once, but here's the full map if you want to follow up directly.

Report thefts, lost items found at local businesses or public spaces, and coordinate with police services. Florissant PD manages lost and found for items reported locally and can file an official report if needed.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner your report goes live across all channels, the sooner the community can help you look. A few minutes now could save hours of calling around and weeks of uncertainty.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Florissant can feel scattered. Whether it's at a local shop, on the Metro bus, at City Hall, or somewhere in the neighborhood, there's no single place where lost items naturally gather, and no single phone call that reaches everywhere at once. Different departments, transit services, and community networks each keep their own records, which means you'd typically spend hours calling around, filling out separate reports, and then manually monitoring various channels to see if your item turns up.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report goes out to all the relevant places at once, from Florissant Police to Metro Lost & Found to local Facebook groups where neighbors post found items daily. And unlike phoning around yourself, your report doesn't just sit in a file somewhere, waiting for luck. It stays live for months, automatically cross-checking new 'found' posts and announcements so that you're covered even if someone discovers your item weeks later. You report once, and the system keeps working for you.
