Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Paris Police Department hold lost and found items?

Check with the Paris Police Department at (903) 784-6688 or visit their office at 2910 Clarksville St to confirm the timeline for your specific item. When you file through ReportLost, we make sure your description is detailed enough for them to identify your item if it comes in.

If your item is found by police, you'll pick it up at the Police Department Property and Evidence room at 2910 Clarksville St. For items found by the city or in community spaces, City Hall at 135 SE 1st Street may hold them. We provide you with contact details and next steps once a match is confirmed.
Do I need to file a police report if I lost something?
You don't always need a formal police report, but reporting through the police lost and found system is helpful if the item was lost on public property or if theft is involved. ReportLost routes your report to the police so they have the information; they'll let you know if further action is needed.
How does ReportLost keep my report active for 12 months?
Your report stays in our system and automatically matches against new found item posts, community announcements, and local listings for the entire search period you choose.
