Where to report your loss in Milwaukie
Reach out directly to these offices, or let us handle it
Milwaukie Police Department
File a report if your loss involves theft or you need an official record. The police maintain lost & found items found at crime scenes or turned in by citizens. For non-emergencies during business hours, or to check if your item has been turned in, reach out to their Records Division. We tell you which precinct and the exact details they'll need.

City of Milwaukie
Lost something in a public building, park, or city facility? Contact City Hall during business hours. They can help redirect you to the right department or facility where your item may have been turned in. We generate the exact information to include so they know exactly what you're looking for.
Lost or found a pet
Milwaukie is served by Clackamas County Animal Services, which holds found animals and helps reunite lost pets with their owners. Call them to report a lost pet or ask if your animal has been brought in. Local Facebook groups like "Lost/Found Pets of Gladstone and Milwaukie" also connect pet owners quickly. For the fastest, most thorough response, file a priority lost pet report with us instead, and we'll make sure animal services and community groups know immediately.
Businesses and public spaces
Lost your ring at a restaurant, your wallet at a coffee shop, or your phone at a transit stop? Call the location directly first. But give us the details too: we post your loss to community channels and keep it active for months, in case someone finds it weeks later and checks online before trying to return it.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Milwaukie means reaching out to the police, checking with individual business lost & found desks, calling the county animal shelter if it's a pet, and scouring Facebook groups and Nextdoor daily.

The real advantage: your report doesn't sit idle. While you're getting on with your day, it keeps working for you.

Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?

Instead, we complement it: we help you file with the right places, post your loss to community channels faster, and keep your report actively searching for months.
