You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right offices and channels in the DeWitt area.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the DeWitt Police Department, Town Hall, local animal services if it's a pet, and we post to CNY lost and found groups so your item gets noticed across the community.

Where to Report in DeWitt
These are the official channels. We handle the routing for you.
DeWitt Police Department
The primary place to file a lost property report. We tell you exactly which department to contact and what information they'll need.
Town of DeWitt Hall
Town Hall can direct you to specific services and keep a record of your loss. We generate the exact details you'll need when you reach out.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in DeWitt, the Onondaga County SPCA and local dog control are your first stops. We connect you with both and post to CNY pet groups immediately. File a priority lost pet report

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you get the word out across all the right channels, the better your chances of recovery. Once your report is in the system, the searching begins automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in DeWitt hits different when you realize the police department, the town clerk's office, animal control, and community groups all handle reports separately. A wallet dropped near the town center, a ring lost at a local shop, or a missing cat spotted on Old Court Road can end up in different databases, and there's no single place coordinating the search for you.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, sent to all the right channels at once, and then your description stays active in the background, automatically cross-checked against new found items and community posts for months. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups every day or call around hoping someone picked up your belongings. We do that work for you.

What if I lost a pet in DeWitt?
Contact the Onondaga County SPCA immediately at (315) 454-0928 or email dogcontrol@cnyspca.org. We post to local pet recovery groups and alert animal shelters across CNY at the same time. Filing a priority pet report increases visibility significantly.

You get notified if there's a match.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We're not affiliated with the DeWitt Police Department or any government agency. We help you report efficiently by routing your information to all the official channels and community groups simultaneously, and we provide the ongoing alerting service the police and town offices themselves don't have time to manage. You still file an official report with police; we just make sure it gets heard everywhere it matters.
