How ReportLost works in Williston
You submit your loss details
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the specifics once and route everything to the right people so you don't have to make multiple calls.
We notify the right channels
We contact Williston Police's Property & Evidence team, check with transit and airport lost and found offices, and post to local community groups so the word spreads.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, we cross-reference new found item posts and announcements with your description. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check daily.
Where items turn up in Williston
Know where to look, but let us do the reaching out.
Williston Police Department
Items turned in to police are held in the Evidence department for 30 days before disposal. We tell you the exact extension to check their status and provide the details they'll need to identify your item.
Williston Basin International Airport
Left something at the terminal or during security? The airport's Administration office logs all found items. We make sure your report reaches them so they can cross-reference against incoming claims.
NW Public Transit
Items left on Williston's local buses are collected at the main transit office on Main Street. We generate the right information to send their way and track whether your item shows up in their logs.
Lost pet? Take priority action.
If you're missing a dog, cat, or other pet, time is even more critical. Mondak Animal Rescue and local animal control respond faster when the community knows what to look for. File a priority lost pet report

The 30-day window matters
Williston Police holds items for just one month. The sooner you report through us, the sooner we contact them and spread the word locally. Waiting only shrinks your chances. Let's get moving.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Williston means contacting the police department, checking the airport, calling transit, and scrolling through multiple Facebook groups. Each place keeps items for only 30 days, and if you miss the window, it's gone. Coordinating across these separate systems takes time, and time matters when items are being cleared out.
ReportLost simplifies everything. File one report with us, and we notify all the key recovery points in Williston while your report continues to hunt for a match across local channels for months. You report once, then the system works for you while you move forward.
