How does ReportLost differ from just posting on Facebook?
A Facebook post reaches your immediate network and disappears as the feed moves on. ReportLost centralizes your report with the Sheriff's office, shelter, and multiple community channels simultaneously, and keeps your search active for 12 months, automatically matching new found items against your description. You're not relying on chance or daily scrolling.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not in place of them. We route your report to the Jackson County Sheriff's office and relevant agencies so they have your information. We also amplify your report across community networks to increase the chance of recovery. Filing with us does not replace calling 911 for emergencies or the Sheriff's non-emergency line for lost property reports.
