Where Lost Items Go in Georgetown
Each channel plays a role. We connect your report to all of them.
Georgetown Police Department
Items found in town and turned in to police get logged and held. We contact them directly with your report details so they know what to look for. If you lose something near downtown or in a public space, this is often where it ends up.
Georgetown County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers broader county areas and also maintains a lost and found. We alert them to your report so it's in their system and accessible when someone brings in a found item.
City Hall and County Services
Georgetown's City Hall and county government buildings are hubs where people pass through daily. Items found in these areas are logged. We can point you to the right department and help you understand what information to provide.
Lost Pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet has gone missing in Georgetown County, reach out to Saint Frances Animal Center and the local animal control network. They coordinate with shelter systems across Horry and Georgetown Counties. For the fastest reunification, file a priority lost pet report with us so we can alert shelters and active pet recovery groups immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lost Items in Georgetown
How long do the Georgetown Police Department and Sheriff's Office hold lost items?
Items are typically held for 30 to 90 days depending on the type and condition. Valuables like jewelry and wallets are held longer than bulky items. Check with the police department at 843-545-4300 or the sheriff's office at 843-546-5102 for specifics about your item.
What should I do if I lost something at a local business or restaurant?
Contact the business directly first. If they don't have it, we'll help you file a formal report that reaches police and local community channels. Many businesses also post found items on social media and community groups, so your report appearing there increases visibility.
Can I report a lost item by phone to the Georgetown Police?
Yes. Call the non-emergency line at 843-527-6763 (or 911 if it's urgent). However, filing through ReportLost ensures your report is simultaneously routed to police, sheriff's office, shelters, and community groups, plus it stays active for months with automatic matching.
What if my lost pet isn't showing up in local shelter records?
Contact Saint Frances Animal Center directly at 843-355-9312, and also check the Lost Pets of Horry/Georgetown Counties Facebook group. These channels share information, but it can take a day or two for an intake to be posted. Filing a priority lost pet report with ReportLost ensures immediate alerts to all connected shelters and rescue networks.
How does ReportLost help if I don't know which police jurisdiction my item ended up in?
We identify the right reporting channel based on where you lost your item. Georgetown has city police for town areas and the sheriff's office for county areas. We route your report to both and handle the details so you don't have to figure out jurisdiction.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace contacting the Georgetown Police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Georgetown Police Department or sheriff's office. We don't replace contacting them, we complement that process by routing your report to them directly, posting it to community channels, and keeping it active for an extended search period. You retain the option to contact police or any local agency directly at any time.
