How it works
You report your lost item
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's a wallet, ring, phone, or pet, we collect the details we need to reach the right people in Upper Saddle River.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Upper Saddle River Police Department, relevant transit services, and active local lost & found channels. We handle the coordination so you don't have to call each place separately.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found item postings, community alerts, and local marketplace listings. You'll get notified if a credible match surfaces, so you're not checking groups and sites every single day.
Where to report in Upper Saddle River
These are the official channels handling lost items locally. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Upper Saddle River Police Department
The police department maintains a lost and found log for items turned in or reported lost within the borough. We verify which precinct covers your loss location and file the report directly with them.
Borough Clerk & Municipal Building
The borough's administrative office sometimes retains items turned in at public buildings or events. We point you to the correct department based on where your loss occurred.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
If you lost your item on a bus or at a transit stop in Upper Saddle River, NJ TRANSIT's centralized system handles the claim. We prepare the exact information they'll need: route number, date, and time.
Newark Airport Lost & Found
If your loss happened at EWR or during airport travel, this is your recovery channel. We'll ensure your report is documented with the airport's lost and found system.
Lost Pet
If your cat or dog is missing, time and community reach matter most. Contact the Upper Saddle River Police (201-327-2700) to report the missing pet, and connect with local animal shelter networks. For a faster, coordinated alert across the region, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.

Start getting the word out
The sooner you file a report, the sooner it goes into circulation. Once it's active with us, you can step back. We keep it searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Upper Saddle River means reaching out to multiple places: the local police department, the borough clerk's office, possibly NJ TRANSIT if you were on a bus, and various community groups scattered across Facebook and Nextdoor. Each contact handles their own logs separately, and there's no single place checking across all of them for you.
ReportLost simplifies that friction. File one report with us, and we notify the Upper Saddle River Police Department, NJ TRANSIT, and relevant community channels at once. More importantly, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. For the duration of your search period, your description stays in active circulation, automatically cross-checked against newly posted found items and alerts, so you can breathe easy knowing the search is working for you behind the scenes.

Questions about recovering your lost item in Upper Saddle River
How long does the Upper Saddle River Police keep lost items?
The police department typically holds found items for 30 to 60 days before disposal. We recommend filing your report as soon as possible. When you report with ReportLost, we notify them right away, and your report stays active for up to 12 months—much longer than the holding period—so you're covered even if an item resurfaces at a local business or is turned in later.
What if I lost my item on an NJ TRANSIT bus?
Contact NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found at (973) 275-5555 with your route number, date, and approximate time. Have your bus pass or fare information ready. ReportLost files this report on your behalf and ensures NJ TRANSIT has your contact details for a match.
Where do I actually pick up a found item in Upper Saddle River?
If an item is found and confirmed as yours, the Upper Saddle River Police Department (368 W. Saddle River Rd) is typically where you'd collect it during business hours. If it came through NJ TRANSIT, you'll be directed to a designated NJ TRANSIT Customer Service Office or transit hub. We provide specific pick-up instructions once a match is confirmed.
How do I report a lost pet specifically?
Call the Upper Saddle River Police Department immediately at (201) 327-2700, and also contact the Bergen County Animal Shelter at (201) 229-4600. For a coordinated alert across the entire region with automatic matching against community posts, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost—it ensures your pet's information reaches shelters, vets, and rescue networks faster.
Does ReportLost replace calling the police or transit?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates and extends your report across official channels and community networks. We're not a government agency, but we work with local authorities to amplify your report and keep it actively searching for longer than any single channel would on its own. Filing with us doesn't replace your initial call to police or transit—it enhances it.
