Freehold Township Police Department
Items found throughout the township often end up here, and the police maintain a lost & found log.

We tell you which desk to contact and generate the exact information to include in your report.

The township clerk's office can direct you to the right department depending on where your item was lost, and can advise on local procedures. We make sure your report reaches the relevant office so you don't have to navigate the directory yourself.

The faster you report, the better your chances.
Every lost item has a window when it's freshest in people's minds and most likely to be in a lost & found office rather than lost forever. Starting your report now means we begin matching immediately, and your search gets a head start.
Report my lost item →Losing something in East Freehold can feel scattered. Your wallet might have been turned in to a shop on Main Street, your dog spotted near the township parks, or your keys sitting in a police lost & found office. But these places don't talk to each other, and neither do all the Facebook groups and community channels where locals post found items. That means you end up calling five different numbers and scrolling through posts every single day.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report, filed once, reaches the Freehold Township Police Department, local animal services, and the community channels where East Freehold residents actually report found items. Better still, your report doesn't stop working after you file it. It stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new found posts and alerts against your description. You report, we route, and then you can breathe while the search continues without you.
Common places items go missing in East Freehold
Losses happen everywhere, but knowing your local hot spots helps recovery
Main Street & Downtown
Shops, cafes, and local businesses see plenty of lost wallets, phones, and bags. Report to the store first, but also file with us so the township system and community channels know to watch for your item.
Township Parks & Recreation Areas
Dogs slip their leashes, people leave bags at picnic areas, and phones fall from pockets. If your loss happened outdoors, reach out to Animal Control and check with park maintenance, but your ReportLost report alerts the community who frequent these spots.
Transit Stops & Bus Routes
NJ TRANSIT buses and waiting areas are common loss points. We route your report directly to NJ TRANSIT's system while also notifying local channels so other commuters can keep an eye out.
Residential Neighborhoods
If your pet went missing or you lost something near your home, your neighbors are often the first to know. Community Facebook groups and Nextdoor are where East Freehold residents post sightings. Your report reaches these channels automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Freehold Township Police hold lost items?
The township police typically hold lost & found items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, depending on the item. That's why filing your report quickly matters—it gets into their system while your item is still in their office. We make sure your description is filed with the right details.
What if my pet is missing? Where should I start?
Contact Animal Control immediately (via Freehold Township), call the Monmouth County SPCA at (732) 542-0040, and post in local Facebook groups. Starting a ReportLost pet report ensures all these channels are notified at once, and your pet's description stays active across community posts and shelter databases for months.
How does NJ TRANSIT handle lost items on buses?
NJ TRANSIT accepts lost & found reports online at njtransit.com/lostandfound, by phone at (973) 275-5555, or in person at customer service offices. We guide you to file with them and ensure your description is specific enough for their staff to spot your item quickly.
What information should I include when I report my loss?
The more specific, the better. Describe the item (color, brand, distinguishing marks), where you lost it (exact location or address), when you lost it (date and time), and any ID marks inside (initials, serial numbers, specific contents). We help you gather these details as part of your report.
How long will my ReportLost report stay active?
Your report stays active and searching for 12 months, depending on the plan you choose. During that entire period, we automatically match new found items and community posts against your description. If a credible match appears, you'll be notified immediately.
Is ReportLost an official government service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels like the police, animal control, and transit authorities. We're not affiliated with Freehold Township, NJ TRANSIT, or the Monmouth County SPCA, but we route your report to them and keep searching through community channels so you don't have to do it all yourself.
