Where to Report a Lost Item in Paulsboro
Official channels and what to do if you're going it alone
Paulsboro Police Department
The police are the official first stop for lost property reports in Paulsboro. Items found and turned in often end up in their lost and found. You can file a report in person or by phone. ReportLost identifies your precinct, generates the exact information to include, and makes sure your report reaches the right desk without you having to repeat details.
Borough of Paulsboro
Paulsboro's municipal office can assist with lost and found inquiries and may direct you to the right department or keep a record of your loss. They're open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. When you report through ReportLost, we ensure Borough Hall also gets notified so your loss is logged in the local system.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
If you lost your item on an NJ TRANSIT bus or during transit travel, report it directly to NJ TRANSIT. They operate a dedicated lost and found application and maintain items for a set period. You can file online, call, or visit a customer service office. ReportLost ensures we notify NJ TRANSIT on your behalf and track your item's status.
Lost Pet
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, contact the Gloucester County Animal Shelter immediately. They maintain a registry of lost and found pets and work with local rescues. Time is critical with missing animals, so your first call should be to the shelter. ReportLost helps you file details with the shelter and ensures your pet description is broadcast to local animal networks, then helps you file a priority lost pet report that stays active across rescue networks.

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, keys, ring, or beloved pet in Paulsboro means checking with the police, the animal shelter, NJ TRANSIT if you were on a bus, local Facebook groups, and scanning Nextdoor posts yourself, every single day.

ReportLost changes that: file one report, and we coordinate with all the services that matter in Paulsboro, then keep your description actively searching for a match across the places where found items actually turn up.
The difference is time and coverage. When you report through ReportLost, you're not just filling out a form and hoping. We ensure the Paulsboro Police Department, Gloucester County Animal Shelter, and local community channels all know your item's details immediately.
