How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter most.
We route it to the right places
Your report is sent to the Hernando Police Department, City of Hernando services, and shared across local community groups and social channels where found items are typically posted.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and automatically matches against new found postings, alerts, and marketplace listings. We notify you the moment a credible match appears, so the search continues even when you're not looking.
Where to report and what to know
Here's what each channel handles and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Hernando Police Department
The police department accepts lost and found reports and keeps records. We tell you which department handles your loss location and generate the exact details to include in your report.
City of Hernando
City Hall can direct you to the right department depending on where you lost your item, and they keep a record of reports. We make sure your loss is documented with the city.
Local shops and businesses
If you lost your item at a store, restaurant, or community venue in Hernando, many keep found items at the front desk. We help you describe what to look for and who to call.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a cat or dog, the DeSoto County Animal Shelter and local pet rescue groups in Hernando are your first response. Community pet groups post actively on Facebook. If your pet is lost, file a priority lost pet report so we can alert the right animal services and shelters immediately.
Community groups
Neighbors post found items on Facebook groups and local community boards. We cross-post your report and monitor these channels so you hear about potential matches without having to check every group yourself.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better
The first few days are crucial. Once you've filed your report with us, your item is entered into an active search that runs continuously, reaching police records, city databases, community channels, and marketplaces all at once. You can relax knowing the search is working around the clock.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hernando means contacting multiple places, all with different hours and processes. The police, the city, local shops, community groups on Facebook, word-of-mouth networks, and online marketplaces all handle found items separately, and there's no single place that knows about all of them.
ReportLost simplifies that. Make one report, and we notify the right authorities and channels. Better yet, your report stays active for months, automatically searching for a match against new found items, so you can stop refreshing pages and let the system work for you.

The Police Department Records Management Division maintains reports during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. To 5 p.m.).

Where do stores and businesses in Hernando typically hold found items?
Most local shops and restaurants keep found items at the front desk or customer service for 30 to 90 days. We help you contact the right manager and provide a description of what to look for.

ReportLost will amplify your pet report across all local channels and keep searching for matching found pet alerts for your entire search period.
If I report a loss to ReportLost, do I also need to contact the police myself?
ReportLost notifies the Hernando Police Department and other key channels on your behalf. However, having an official police report number can be useful for insurance and documentation. We guide you through both.
How does ReportLost keep my report active for months?
Your report is saved in our system and automatically matched against new found item postings, community alerts, marketplace listings, and reports from other channels. You'll be notified the moment we spot a credible match. You don't have to refresh pages or check groups daily, the search runs continuously.
Is ReportLost official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Hernando Police Department or City of Hernando, but we work alongside them. We notify the police and relevant city services and keep your report active in search far longer than they typically hold records. We complement official channels, not replace them, and we recommend having a police report number for your records.
