The sooner you report, the better your chances
Items found early stay fresher and more likely to be retained in official lost and found systems. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, the Fort Lee Police Department and other agencies have your information, and your report begins its active search period. You can focus on other things while we keep the channels working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fort Lee means contacting the police, checking the NJ Transit lost and found, visiting Borough Hall, and posting on multiple Facebook groups and community forums. These systems don't talk to each other, and if an item turns up on a different platform from where you reported it, you might miss it entirely.
ReportLost takes the confusion out of the search. We file your loss with the Fort Lee Police Department, route the alert to transit services and the borough, and keep your report active across community channels for months. That way, you can move on while your report continues hunting for a match.
