Where to report a loss in Clarksdale
The right channel for each kind of item
Clarksdale Police Department
The Police Department handles reports for lost wallets, phones, jewelry, and other items lost in public places around town. They keep records and can advise you on where items are most commonly turned in. When you file with us, we generate a formal report and tell you which precinct or desk handles lost property in the area where your loss occurred.
City Hall & Municipal Services
City Hall at Sunflower Avenue is the central hub for city records and can direct you to the right department based on where your item was lost. They maintain connections with all city services and can help reunite lost items with their owners. We make sure your report includes all the details City Hall needs to effectively search their records.
Lost Pet Report
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Clarksdale, CARES (Clarksdale Animal Rescue Effort & Shelter) is the first stop. They operate a no-kill shelter and maintain a lost pet database. The shelter staff can describe your pet to the community, check incoming animals, and keep your case active. For immediate help with a lost or found pet, file a priority lost pet report to alert shelters and animal services directly.
Community & Social Channels
Clarksdale residents actively share lost and found items on Facebook groups and community pages. These channels move fast and reach people who may have seen your item or pet. We post your report across the right local groups so your loss gets immediate visibility without you having to manage multiple posts.

The sooner you report, the better
Items left behind in public are often held for a short window before they're discarded or claimed by someone else. Starting your report today means we can begin searching right away. Once it's filed, the pressure is off you, our team takes over the notifications and the searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Clarksdale means calling the police station, checking with the animal shelter if it's a pet, posting in community groups, and then waiting and checking again. Different services, separate phone lines, no coordination. ReportLost puts all of that in motion with one report, and keeps your search alive for months without you having to lift a finger.
The moment you file a report, our team connects the right local channels, generates exactly what each office needs to hear, and your description stays in active circulation. Whether it's your wallet left at a downtown business, your dog lost near Azalea Street, or your keys dropped in town, your report doesn't go cold. It keeps searching for you, every day, until either your item is found or your search period ends.

If an item is turned in to City Hall at 121 Sunflower Avenue, call 662-621-8164 during business hours to ask if your item has been received. Be ready to describe it in detail so they can match it to your report.
What should I include in my initial lost item report?
Include a clear description of the item (color, brand, distinctive marks), where you last had it, when you lost it, and your contact information. The more specific you are, the faster someone who finds it can identify and return it to you.
Can I report a lost item and a lost pet at the same time with ReportLost?

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that routes your report to official agencies like Clarksdale Police, City Hall, and CARES Clarksdale. We don't replace direct contact with these offices, but we make sure your information reaches them and stays in circulation. For emergencies, always call 911. For non-emergencies, you can file with us and we'll make sure the right people know about your loss.
