Where to report in Kearney
The main channels and how to reach them
Kearney Police Department
The Police Department handles reports of lost and found items and keeps records that can help if your item was turned in.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
The first hours matter. Once you file your report with us, the search spreads across police, City Hall, community groups, and social channels all at once. You've done the hard part; now your report does the work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Kearney can feel like a dead end. Your wallet disappears at a local restaurant, your ring slips off at the park, your cat gets out near downtown, and suddenly you're juggling calls to the police non-emergency line, checking Facebook groups, hoping someone finds your way to Animal Control. Each place has its own system, its own hours, and nobody's coordinating the search across all of them.
ReportLost takes that burden off you. Fill out one simple form, and we deliver your report to Kearney Police, City Hall, local animal control, and the active lost-and-found communities where your neighbors are already looking. Better still, your report stays active the whole time you're searching, matching incoming found reports with what you've lost, so you can breathe easy knowing the search continues whether or not you're actively hunting.
Common areas where items go missing in Kearney
Know where to search and where to check back
Downtown Kearney
Shops, restaurants, and service businesses along the main corridor. Wallets, phones, and jewelry frequently slip away here. Check with local businesses and City Hall first, then file a report so police and community groups are alerted.
City Parks & Recreation Areas
Local parks are common spots for lost rings, glasses, and backpacks during outdoor activities. Contact City Hall to report, and canvas the parks early, since items left outside may be cleared during maintenance.
Residential & Neighborhood Streets
Pets stray or escape from backyards and homes throughout Kearney. Animal Control should be your first call for a missing dog or cat. They'll circulate alerts to local vets and shelters.
Local Schools & Bus Stops
Items are often left on buses or at school grounds. Contact Durham School Services at 816-628-9003 (Bus Barn, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays) to check for lost school bus items. Then expand your report to police and community channels.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the police keep items in their lost and found?
Kearney Police will typically hold lost items for a set period (usually 30 to 90 days depending on the item and value). Call the non-emergency line at 816-407-3700 to check if your item has been turned in. Filing a report with us ensures police are notified right away and your item gets logged in their system.
What should I do if I lost a pet?
Call Animal Control immediately at 816-903-4771 (or 816-407-3700 after hours). Give them a detailed description and your contact info. Post on Kearney Facebook groups and Nextdoor the same day. File a priority lost pet report with us so we alert all the right channels and keep searching across community posts for 12 months.
Can I check lost and found at Kearney businesses myself?
Absolutely, and you should. Call ahead to restaurants, shops, and service businesses where you lost your item. But don't rely on that alone; many places don't keep detailed records or hold items for only a few days. A report with us ensures police and community channels are also searching.
Who checks Facebook groups and Nextdoor for lost items?
Kearney residents who follow these groups often spot lost items and post them immediately. When you file a report with us, we post to these active channels so hundreds of neighbors see your lost item or pet description at once. You don't have to refresh the pages yourself.
What makes ReportLost different from just calling police?
Police reports are essential and we absolutely recommend filing one. But ReportLost goes further, fast. We generate the exact information police need, route your report to Animal Control if it's a pet, post to community Facebook groups and Nextdoor the same day, and keep your report active and searching for 12 months. One form to us, and the entire network is alerted.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace calling the police?
No, ReportLost is an independent service and does not replace the police. We strongly recommend filing a report with Kearney Police if your item is valuable or if a pet is missing. We complement official channels by broadcasting your report across community groups and keeping an active search running in parallel. We're here to make sure your report reaches everyone who can help.
