Where to report in Meridian
The official channels, and how ReportLost saves you the legwork
Meridian Police Department
The Meridian Police Department handles reports of lost items and can direct you to property recovery. Their front desk and non-emergency line can log your report and let you know if anything matching your description comes in. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and generate the exact details to include in your report.
City of Meridian
Meridian's city government can connect you with municipal lost and found services and may have policies for items found in public spaces or city facilities. City Hall can direct your inquiry to the right department.
Meridian Regional Airport
If you lost an item at Meridian Regional Airport, the airport's operations team can check their lost and found. Call during business hours to inquire about items turned in at baggage claim, security, or terminal areas.
Lost Pet?
If your pet is missing in Meridian or Lauderdale County, the Meridian Animal Shelter and local rescue networks are your first contacts. The shelter maintains a database of found animals and can help identify your pet. Active community groups post sightings and coordinate searches. File a priority lost pet report to get immediate help from the community.

Found in Meridian?
Whether your item is lost at home, downtown, near the airport, or at a local business, taking action quickly gives you the best chances of recovery. Once you file, you can rest easier knowing the report is working for you across every local channel.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Meridian means coordinating with separate channels: the police department, the airport, local animal shelters, and community Facebook groups. Each has its own process, its own timeline, and its own visibility. You end up repeating yourself, and the clock keeps ticking without a central search working on your behalf.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we take care of routing your report to every relevant Meridian service and channel. Better yet, once your report is filed, it stays active and keeps searching for a match across community posts, found item announcements, and local networks for the full duration of your search period. You can focus on your day while the search continues in the background.
