Is ReportLost an official service, or does it replace contacting the police?

We ensure your report reaches the Police Department, Animal Control, and community groups simultaneously, and keep your report active across these channels for the duration you choose. You'll still be the one directly retrieving your item, but we remove the burden of navigating multiple offices and groups yourself.
