Where to report in Cleveland, TN
Here's every local channel that handles lost items. We contact them for you, but you can also reach out directly.
Cleveland Police Department
The Cleveland Police Department maintains a Property and Evidence office that catalogs recovered lost and stolen items. If you find something on a street or in a public place, it typically ends up here. We tell you which office to contact and generate the right information to include in your report.
City of Cleveland
The City of Cleveland's administrative offices coordinate with police and can point you to the right department if your item was lost at a city facility or event. We ensure your report reaches the relevant city contact.
CUATS Local Transit
If you left something on a CUATS bus, the transit system maintains its own Lost and Found service. Items are held and cataloged by date and route. We can help you file a detailed report with the right bus line and time information.
Lost & Found Pets
If your pet is missing, the Bradley County SPCA and McKamey Animal Center are your first calls. They keep records of found animals and can check their intake. We help you get your pet's description to shelters across the county and file a priority lost pet report.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting ahead helps
The sooner you file a report, the sooner we start monitoring. Items reported within hours of loss have a better chance of being spotted quickly. Once your report is in the system, you can relax—our automated search runs continuously in the background.
Report my lost item →Cleveland's a connected community, but losing something creates a puzzle: the police have their own process, transit has theirs, and local groups post independently. You end up making multiple calls, filling out separate forms, and checking a dozen Facebook groups every day just to stay in the loop.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we route your information to the Cleveland Police Department, city services, and community channels simultaneously. Then we watch for your item continuously across the entire web, from social posts to online classifieds, so you can move on knowing the search is active 24/7.
