Where to Report a Lost Item in Roswell
Here's what each service does and how ReportLost helps you reach them all at once
Roswell Police Department
The RPD's Records Department handles lost and found reports and keeps them on file. You can submit a report in person at their headquarters or by calling their non-emergency line. We help you generate the exact details to include and confirm which precinct covers your loss location.
Roswell Transit
If you lost something on a city bus, Roswell Transit's office at North Main Street keeps a lost and found where drivers turn in items. Call them during business hours to describe what you lost and ask them to search their holdings. We make sure they have your information and a clear description to work with.
Roswell International Air Center
The Roswell Air Center (ROW) operates a lost and found for passengers and travelers. If you left an item at the airport, contact their information desk or the TSA checkpoint directly. We ensure your report reaches the right desk so they know what to watch for.
Shops, Restaurants & Public Spaces
Lost items at local businesses, parks, or community venues often end up at their front desks or with managers. Roswell's downtown and commercial areas have a strong community spirit, and business owners typically hold items for a reasonable time. We help you document exactly where you were and what to ask for when you call back.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, contact Roswell Animal Services or the Roswell Humane Society immediately. Both organizations maintain intake records and can alert you if a matching pet is brought in. For faster results, file a priority lost pet report with us so we can notify all local shelters and community groups at once.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Start your report here.
The sooner you report, the sooner we can start routing your information to every relevant service and community channel in Roswell. Once your report is filed, you can rest assured that we're keeping it active and looking for matches while you go about your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Roswell can be frustrating, especially when you're not sure where to start. The city's police department, transit system, airport, and various community groups all handle lost items separately, which means you'd normally have to reach out to each one individually and keep checking their pages for weeks.
ReportLost simplifies that process. File one report with us, and we immediately connect it to the Roswell Police Department, Roswell Transit, the Roswell Air Center, and the active local Facebook groups where items turn up. Better yet, your report stays active throughout your entire search window, automatically cross-referencing new found posts and listings against your description. You won't miss a match because you forgot to check a forum or group, and you won't have to reinvent your search every few days.
