Abingdon Police Department
The Abingdon Police handles lost and found reports for items lost around town. Call 276-628-3111 during business hours, or contact Washington County Dispatch at 276-676-6277 for non-emergency help outside office hours. We identify which precinct or department covers your loss location and generate the report details you'll need.
Town of Abingdon Administration

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or pet in Abingdon means navigating separate channels: the police department at 276-628-3111, the Washington County Animal Shelter for pets, local Facebook groups, and potentially the airport. Each has its own process and timeline. The result? You end up contacting multiple places, uncertain if your report is actually being looked for.
ReportLost cuts through that fragmentation. File once, and we ensure your loss reaches the Abingdon Police Department, the right community networks, and the agencies most likely to encounter your item. Then your report continues working for you automatically, matching new found posts and alerts for months, so you can move on while the search stays active in the background.
