Where to report in Washingtonville
A roadmap to every place your lost item might end up
Washingtonville Police Department
The local police non-emergency line is the first step for reporting lost property. They maintain records and can advise on next steps. We file your report with them automatically, so you don't have to make the call yourself.
Village of Washingtonville
Village Hall can direct you to specific departments or offer guidance on lost items found on public property. We ensure your report is routed to the right desk when relevant.
Dutchess County Public Transit
If you lost something on a Dutchess County fixed-route bus, Customer Service can check the depot and track lost items. We provide them with your exact route and item details, speeding up the search.
Lost pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, the Humane Society of Blooming Grove and local animal services are your best immediate contacts. Report to us as well, and we'll keep an eye on shelter databases and pet-focused groups. File a priority lost pet report

Report my lost item →Losing something in Washingtonville is stressful, and finding it again means contacting multiple places: the police non-emergency line, Dutchess County transit if you lost it on a bus, the Humane Society of Blooming Grove if it's a pet, and posting across several Facebook groups and local channels. That's a lot of phone calls and forms to fill out manually. ReportLost simplifies that by handling all the routing for you in one step.
Once you file a report with us, you don't have to keep checking sites and groups every day hoping for a match. Your report continues to search across local channels and lost-and-found databases for the full duration you choose (12 months), and we alert you the moment a credible match shows up. It's like having someone working for you behind the scenes.

Frequently asked questions
What's the typical holding period for lost items at the Washingtonville Police Department?
Items turned in to police are typically held for a standard period before being disposed of or donated. We recommend calling 845-496-9123 to ask about the exact timeframe. Once you file a report with us, we notify them immediately so your item is flagged in their system.
If I lost something on a Dutchess County bus, how long do they hold it?
Dutchess County transit holds lost items at their depot for a set period. Call Customer Service at 845-473-8424 (Monday-Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM) to check if your item is there. We file your report with them so they know to keep an eye out.
What should I do if I lost a pet in Washingtonville?
Contact the Humane Society of Blooming Grove immediately at 845-496-6199, and check local animal shelters. Post to Lost Pets of the Hudson Valley on Facebook and file a dedicated pet report with us. Early reporting dramatically improves the chances of a reunion.
Can I report a lost item directly to Village Hall instead of the police?
Village Hall (845-496-3221) can direct you and offer guidance, but the police department is the official agency for lost property reports. We handle this routing for you automatically, so you don't have to navigate between offices.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
You can choose a 6-month or 12-month search period when you file. Your report stays active for the entire duration, automatically checking new found posts, social media updates, and shelter databases for a match. If nothing turns up after your period ends, you can file a new report.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside local authorities, not instead of them. We file your report with the actual agencies (police, transit, animal services, etc.) and monitor community channels on your behalf. You're still reporting to the official entities, but through a faster, more comprehensive system.
