How it works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your lost wallet, ring, phone, or other item in a few details. We gather the information that matters to the right agencies.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes directly to the Clinton Police Department, Anderson County Animal Shelter, local Facebook groups, and other relevant lost & found locations in town. No runaround, no missed connections.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, local posts, and marketplace listings. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items end up in Clinton
We handle the routing. But here's where things typically go.
Clinton Police Department
Items turned in to police are logged and held. The Clinton Police Department can take reports and store found property. We file your report directly with them and confirm which precinct has jurisdiction over your loss location.
Clinton City Hall
Lost items found in municipal buildings or public spaces sometimes reach City Hall. We alert City Hall to your report and ensure the right department receives the details they need to help you.
KAT (Knoxville Area Transit)
If you lost something on a KAT bus or at a transit hub, items go to the Knoxville Station Lost & Found. We help you file the exact report needed and point you to where to retrieve your item.
Lost or found a pet?
Anderson County Animal Shelter, located at 1480 Blockhouse Valley Road, is where stray and found animals are brought. We help you file a priority report and connect with the shelter, local rescue groups, and community pet groups. If your pet is missing, time matters—file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Once your report is filed and active, you can breathe easier. Our team has already reached the right people, and your report will keep searching in the background for months. The first few hours count, but the work doesn't stop there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Clinton can feel scattered. Your wallet might end up at the police department, your dog could be brought to the animal shelter on Blockhouse Valley Road, and someone honest might post about it on Facebook or at a local business. Each agency keeps its own records, each group posts separately, and you're left juggling calls and websites to piece together the search.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches the Clinton Police Department, City Hall, Anderson County Animal Shelter, and the community groups where locals post found items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop there—it stays active and keeps searching automatically for a full 12 months, matching against new found items and posts so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing screens.

Call KAT Customer Service or visit their website. Items are brought to the Knoxville Station Lost & Found office no later than 12 PM the next day. We generate the exact information you need to file with them.
Do I need to report my lost item to the police myself, or does ReportLost do it?
ReportLost files your report with the Clinton Police Department, City Hall, animal services, and local groups on your behalf. You don't have to make those calls or visits. The police report exists independently; our service just ensures it reaches the right people faster and keeps searching for months.
What if my item hasn't been found in a few weeks?
Your report stays active for 12 months, depending on your selection, and continues to match against new found items and posts. Many items are recovered weeks or even months later. We'll alert you as soon as something credible comes in.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside local police, animal shelters, and community groups. We're not a government agency, but we partner with and file reports with the official channels that matter—Clinton Police, Anderson County Animal Shelter, City Hall, and local groups. Our role is to make sure your report reaches all the right places and stays active in the search, so you don't have to manage it all yourself.
