How ReportLost Works
You Tell Us What You Lost
Share details about your item, where you lost it, and when. We ask the right questions to build a complete description that helps everyone find it faster.
We Notify the Right Channels
Your report is sent to the Fulton Police Department, relevant local lost and found services, and community groups where locals actively share sightings. You get peace of mind knowing the right people have been told.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and matches against new found items posted to local channels and community boards. You receive an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can follow up without spending hours refreshing Facebook.
Where to Report Your Lost Item
Local resources and how to reach them
Fulton Police Department
The Fulton Police Department handles lost and found reports and can check if your item has been turned in. For non-emergency reports, call the main line during business hours or visit in person at their office on South First Street. We can tell you exactly what information to prepare and which extension to ask for.
City of Fulton Municipal Building
The City Clerk's office and municipal services are based here and can help direct you to the right department for your lost item. Staff can advise whether your item might be in the city's custody or point you toward the appropriate local service.
Local Bus Services
If you lost your item on a bus in the region, the transit company's lost and found is your first stop. Call their customer service number and describe your item and the route you were on. We can help you pinpoint which company to contact and what details matter most.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Fulton, time is critical. Contact local shelters, animal hospitals, and the Fulton County Sheriff's Office immediately. The regional SPCA and community networks like 'Lost and Found Pets Fulton COUNTY NY' are active and monitored daily by people who help reunite pets with their families. To get immediate professional support and ensure your pet stays searchable for months, file a priority lost pet report.

The Earlier You Report, the Better Your Chances
The first few hours and days matter most for lost items. Once you've filed with us, your report joins the active search across all local channels, and you can breathe easier knowing we're matching new found items against your description. There's no rush to make all the calls yourself; we handle the coordination.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fulton is stressful, and the usual next steps are scattered: the police non-emergency line, Facebook groups for Oswego County, local animal control if it's a pet, bus companies if you lost it in transit. Each office operates independently, and there's no guarantee someone will connect the dots or remember your item when it comes in. By the time you've made five calls, you're already hours in.
ReportLost bridges that gap. When you file a report, we notify Fulton Police, tap into the community networks where locals post sightings, and keep your report actively searching for a match across all those channels for months. You make one report, and the system works for you while you move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Fulton Police Department hold lost items?

We recommend calling 315-598-2111 as soon as possible to file your report and ask them to flag your item if it arrives. When you report through us, we ensure the department knows to watch for your specific item.

Contact the bus company's customer service immediately with your route number and the date of travel. If you're unsure which carrier you used, we can help you figure out the right number to call. Most regional transit services hold items for 30 days or more, so there's still time.
Should I also call Fulton Police if I report through ReportLost?
We notify the Fulton Police Department on your behalf, but if you'd like to follow up directly or file an official police report for insurance purposes, calling 315-598-2111 is always an option. Having both a ReportLost report and a police report ensures maximum coverage.

You can call the Fulton Police non-emergency line at 315-598-2111 or visit City Hall at 141 S. First Street during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM). When you report with us, we also keep your report active and alert you if a match is posted to any local community channel.
