Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We'll generate a clear, detailed description that reaches the right channels in Monroe and beyond.
We notify the right places
Your report goes directly to Monroe Police Department, Butler County RTA (if applicable), and local community networks, so you don't have to make calls to each one separately.
Your report keeps searching
While you go about your day, your active report continues to match against new found item posts and community listings for 12 months. You'll get an alert if a credible match appears.
Where lost items go in Monroe
These are the official channels. ReportLost alerts them automatically, so you don't have to.

Start with a clear report
The sooner you file, the sooner we notify Monroe's lost and found services and community networks. Once your report is live, you can relax, knowing it's actively searching for matches.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, or phone in Monroe means navigating separate reporting systems, hoping the police department's found property log has your item, checking social media groups, and calling transit customer service. It's fragmented, time-consuming, and easy to fall through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one report and we ensure the Monroe Police Department, local lost and found services, and community channels all have your description. Then your report stays active, continuously cross-referencing new found items and community posts, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups or calling back every week. We handle the legwork while your case keeps searching.

You can always file directly with the Police Department or transit authority, but ReportLost automates that process and adds ongoing community monitoring.
