How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the details needed for every channel that can help retrieve it.
We route it where it matters
Your report goes to the Brandon Police Department, City of Brandon services, Brandon City Transit, animal control if needed, and gets shared across local Facebook groups and community networks.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues matching against new found items, posts, and local reports. You don't have to check every group every day, we do the crossmatching for you.
Where Your Lost Item Can Turn Up
Brandon has several dedicated channels for found items. Here's what each handles and what ReportLost does to speed up the process.
Brandon Police Department
The Brandon Police Department takes reports of lost items and maintains records of found property brought in by the public. We provide them with your exact details and location, so they know to flag your item if it comes through. Call the non-emergency line at (605) 582-6125 during office hours (7 a.m. to 6 p.m.) or reach dispatch via Metro Communications at (605) 367-7000.
City of Brandon
City Hall coordinates between departments and handles general lost and found inquiries for city facilities and public spaces. We notify them of your loss so their staff keeps an eye out. City Hall is open Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 304 Main Avenue. Call (605) 582-6515.
Brandon City Transit
Lost items found on city buses are collected and logged by the transit system. If you lost something on a Brandon City Transit bus, we make sure they have your report and item description. Contact Brandon City Transit at (605) 582-3553 to check if your item has been turned in.
Lost Pet Reports
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in or around Brandon, animal control and local animal rescue groups need to know right away. Microchipping information, neighborhood searches, and community alerts all happen faster when your pet is properly reported. We connect you with the right authorities and community networks.

Don't let another day pass without filing
The sooner your loss is reported across all channels, the sooner it can be found. Every day that passes means fewer people know to look for your item. Let us handle the routing so you can move forward.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Brandon, whether it's a wallet at a coffee shop downtown, a ring at one of the parks, a phone on a city transit bus, or a beloved pet, means reaching out to multiple separate places, each with different hours and procedures. The Brandon Police Department, City Hall, Brandon City Transit, local animal control, and community Facebook groups all handle reports separately, so your lost item gets searched in fragments across different channels.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, filed once, gets delivered to every relevant office and community channel in Brandon. Better yet, your report doesn't expire after a week or a month, it stays active for your entire search period, continuously matching new found items and posts to your description so you're not doing the legwork yourself every single day.

How does ReportLost know when something matching my report is found?
Your report stays active for your chosen period (12 months) and we continuously cross-reference new found items posted to police logs, transit systems, community Facebook groups, and local alerts. When a credible match appears, we notify you so you don't have to check these sites manually every day.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We don't replace the police or city services, we complement them by routing your report to all of them at once and keeping it active longer than you could manage yourself. All the services we route to, like Brandon Police and City Transit, remain the official handlers of lost property.
