Where to Report and What You Need to Know
Here are the key places in Horn Lake that receive and hold lost items. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Horn Lake Police Department
The Police Department handles lost items reported in public spaces and those turned in by residents. We identify which precinct or department section is relevant to your loss location and submit your report with the right details.
Horn Lake City Hall
City Hall serves as a central point for lost items found in parks, public buildings, and city facilities. We make sure your loss information reaches the right department at City Hall so staff know what to look for.
Horn Lake Animal Shelter

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Acting quickly improves the odds that your item is still where it was lost or hasn't yet been discarded. Once you've filed your report with us, our team takes over the coordination, and you can focus on other things. Your report will be actively searching for matches throughout the entire recovery period.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Horn Lake can be frustrating, especially when items end up scattered across different places. A wallet might be turned in to the Police Department. A pet could be at the Animal Shelter. A lost phone or bag might surface in a Facebook group or community post. Calling each place separately, refreshing social media daily, and hoping someone posts about your item is exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. Instead of contacting the Police Department, City Hall, the Animal Shelter, and monitoring local community channels yourself, you file one report with us. We notify all the relevant local authorities and community channels right away, and your report continues to search for matches automatically for months. You get the benefit of a coordinated search without the daily effort.
