Lincoln County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office serves Harrisburg and the surrounding county. Items lost on streets or in public spaces often end up here. We identify your location and let them know right away what to look for.

Lost Pet?
If you're missing a cat or dog, the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society and Animal Control work together to track strays and lost pets across the region. They're your first call, and we can help get the word out fast to reach file a priority lost pet report.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Harrisburg means reaching out to multiple places, each with its own process, phone lines, and hours. The Sheriff's Office, city hall, local businesses, and community groups all keep separate records. By the time you've contacted everyone, precious time has passed.
ReportLost simplifies this. Submit one report and we make sure the right people know, from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office to local Facebook groups and beyond.

Questions About Losing & Finding in Harrisburg
How long does the Sheriff's Office hold found items?
Lincoln County Sheriff's Office typically holds items for 30 to 90 days before disposal. This is why reporting quickly matters, and why having your report stay active for months makes a difference. We keep searching even after the initial period, as items sometimes resurface.
Where should I look if I lost my item in a business?
Call the specific shop, restaurant, or gas station where you think you left it. We can help you describe the item clearly and let you know which ones to contact first based on your location.
Can I file a lost pet report online?
Yes. The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society accepts lost pet reports online, and Animal Control can be reached at 605-553-6747. We recommend reporting to both, and you can <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost</strong></a> to get the word out across multiple channels at once.
What if my item is at Sioux Falls Airport?
If you lost something at Joe Foss Field (Sioux Falls Regional Airport), contact their Lost & Found office at 605-336-0762 ext. 2004 during business hours. Our report system can flag airport-related losses so we know to connect with them directly.
Do I need to check multiple Facebook groups myself?
Not anymore. We post your report to relevant community channels and lost and found networks so volunteers and neighbors see it. You'll receive alerts if a match shows up, so you're not scrolling for weeks.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the Sheriff's Office?
ReportLost is an independent service that makes it easier to report losses to official channels and community groups at once. We're not part of the Sheriff's Office or city government, but we work with them and local networks to get the word out faster. Filing with us complements official reports, it doesn't replace them, though we handle the outreach so you don't have to call ten different numbers.
