How ReportLost Works in Jackson
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right Jackson agencies and platforms.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Jackson Police Department, the airport if it's from there, JTRAN if you lost it on a bus, and local social networks. No more chasing multiple phone numbers.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For 12 months, we scan Facebook groups, marketplace posts, Jackson community boards, and lost-and-found feeds across the web. The moment a matching item appears, we alert you. You stay informed without refreshing pages daily.
Where to Report in Jackson
Below are the official channels. With ReportLost, we handle the routing and ongoing search for you.
Jackson Police Department
Start a non-emergency report if you lost an item in Jackson proper. The department maintains records and can advise on retrieval. We alert the right precinct for your location and ensure your report is logged.
Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN)
Lost something at the terminal, security, or in baggage? The airport's lost-and-found office is open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM. You can also submit an online form or call directly. We ensure your report reaches their police and customer service teams.
JTRAN Lost & Found
Left something on a Jackson bus? JTRAN operates a central lost-and-found for all routes. Items are typically held for a set period before donation. We make sure your report reaches them and tracks any incoming matches.
Local Shops & Public Spaces
Malls, restaurants, hotels, and downtown stores often keep a lost-and-found desk. We guide you on which location's lost-and-found to contact based on where you last had your item, and we post your report across Jackson's social channels.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Jackson or the surrounding area, immediate action counts. Contact local shelters, microchip registries, and community networks right away. File a priority lost pet report with us to activate our pet-specific monitoring and alerts.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't let time work against you
The sooner you report, the sooner we begin monitoring. Items held at lost-and-found desks have retention windows, and social posts fade fast. Getting your report in now means we can track matches across Jackson as soon as they appear.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Jackson can feel overwhelming. Whether it's at the airport, on a JTRAN bus, in a downtown shop, or somewhere else across the city, you're facing a fragmented web of lost-and-found offices, each with different procedures and hold times. Police records, airport paperwork, transit logs, and social media posts all operate separately, and tracking them all yourself is exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. One submission, and we immediately notify every relevant Jackson authority and monitor the web continuously for you. You report once, then focus on your day while our automated search keeps working in the background. Whether it takes days or months to resurface, we'll spot it.

Typically 30 to 90 days, depending on the item and location. We recommend filing your report immediately so it's logged before the hold period expires. Check with the specific precinct or location for exact timelines.
What's the process at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport?
The airport's lost-and-found office (143 S Hangar Dr, Jackson, MS 39208) is open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM. You can visit in person, call (601) 939-5631, or email jmaa.info@jmaa.com. We submit your report form directly so they have your details on file.

What if my item is found after I've already checked the lost-and-found?

Yes. We help you report directly to the business's lost-and-found and monitor social channels and online forums where the business or customers might post found items. Many hotels and shops list items online; we watch for matches continuously.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service; we are not part of the Jackson Police Department or any government agency. We complement official channels by instantly routing your report to police, airport, transit, and local social networks, plus providing months of automated web monitoring that official lost-and-found offices cannot. You should file an official police report if required by your insurance or the nature of the loss, and ReportLost will ensure that report gets to the right desk.
