The Brookville Police Department typically holds items for a period determined by their policy, which you can confirm by calling 937-833-2001. Shelters and animal facilities have their own holding periods, usually 7-10 days for strays before moving to adoption. With ReportLost, your report keeps searching beyond the holding window.
What if I lost my item at a local business or shop?
Many Brookville businesses hold found items at customer service for a few days. Call them directly first. If no luck, your report through ReportLost reaches police and community networks, which often pick up items after businesses have moved them or turned them in.
Can I file a report if I lost my item outside Brookville but live here?
Yes. ReportLost can file reports for losses across Ohio and beyond. Tell us the exact location, and we'll route it to the correct police department and local channels for that area.
How do I pick up my lost item once it's found?
You'll receive an alert from ReportLost with details about where your item was found. We'll provide instructions for pickup, whether that's the police station, a business, a shelter, or a community member. Always verify the finder's identity before collecting.
