Where to report a lost item in Midvale
Each channel holds items separately. ReportLost notifies them all at once, and tracks matches for you.

If you lost an item in Midvale, the Unified Police Department handles lost property reports and may hold items recovered during patrols or incidents. We identify which division and precinct covers your loss location and route your report with complete details.
UPD Non-Emergency Dispatch|UPD Main Number|Visit UPD Midvale
Midvale City Hall
Lost items turned in to city offices or municipal locations may be logged through the city's administrative services. We provide the precise details and your contact information so the right department can reach you if your item shows up.
UTA Lost & Found (Transit)
Lost something on a bus, TRAX, S-Line, or FrontRunner? UTA holds items for 30 days. If you rode public transit, we generate and submit the exact lost & found form with your details, and we let you know if we find a match as new items are logged into their system.
Salt Lake City International Airport
Traveling through SLC? The airport's lost and found office (open Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. MT) handles items left in terminals and on aircraft. We alert them with your complete description and maintain your report in case your item is recovered and logged.

If your pet has gone missing in Midvale, contact Midvale Animal Services immediately (385-468-7387) and check the Salt Lake County Animal Services shelter. Local Midvale Facebook groups connect residents quickly. We help you organize and amplify your pet alert across all channels. File a priority lost pet report.

Report now, let your search run on autopilot
The sooner you file, the sooner your report spreads and starts matching. Once you submit, the legwork shifts to us. You'll receive alerts the instant a credible lead emerges, saving you hours of manual searching across police records, transit databases, and community pages.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Midvale can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure which agency holds items, which social groups to check, or how long to keep looking. The Unified Police Department, UTA (if you lost it on the bus), Salt Lake City International Airport (if traveling), and local community pages all keep separate records. Calling each one repeatedly or scrolling through Facebook groups every day exhausts you without guarantees.
ReportLost bridges that gap. You file once, we notify all the right channels, and crucially, your report stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new found items as they're posted. You get on with your day knowing someone is still looking for you, matching your description against what turns up, and sending you an alert if there's a real lead. No more wondering if you missed it, no more daily hunts across different websites.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not in place of them. We're not affiliated with the Unified Police Department, UTA, the city of Midvale, or any government agency. What we do is consolidate your report, route it to all the right places, and keep it active while officials process their own records. For emergencies, always call 911. For lost items, filing with us accelerates the process and ensures continuous matching.
