Where to Report a Lost Item in Colville
Reach out to the agencies that serve your area
Colville Police Department
The primary law enforcement agency for the city of Colville. If your loss occurred within city limits, the police department is your main contact. They maintain lost and found records and can file a report. ReportLost tells you which jurisdiction covers your specific loss location and generates the details they'll need.
Stevens County Sheriff's Office
Handles lost and found matters for unincorporated areas of Stevens County outside Colville's city limits. If your loss occurred outside the city proper, the Sheriff's Office is the right agency to contact. We can point you to the correct department based on where you lost your item.
Lost Pet Recovery
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in the Colville area, the city's animal control facility on Louis Perras Road is your first stop. They track lost animals and help reunite them with owners. Community groups on Facebook like Stevens County HOME AGAIN Lost and Found PETS and Stevens County LOST & FOUND pets also rally quickly to help recover missing animals. For the fastest recovery and expert guidance, file a priority lost pet report.
Colville Municipal Airport
If you lost an item at the airport or on airport grounds, contact the Airport Manager directly. Items left in terminals or around the facility are tracked separately from city police records.
City Hall
Colville City Hall can direct you to the right department for your situation and help you navigate the local reporting process. If you're unsure whether the police or sheriff should handle your case, City Hall can clarify.

The sooner you report, the sooner we search
Every moment counts when something is lost. The faster we know what to look for and where to look, the better the odds of recovery. File your report now and let us take it from here.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Colville is stressful, and the recovery process can feel scattered. Local police, the county sheriff's office, animal control, and community groups each maintain their own channels, which means your lost item description might reach one office but not another. By the time you've called everyone separately, tracked down the right department for your neighborhood, and posted across multiple Facebook groups, hours have passed.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One submission directs your information to all the right places at once, and your report continues to search for a match automatically throughout your recovery window. You won't have to spend weeks re-posting or calling back to check on status. Once you've filed your report, your case stays active while you focus on moving forward.
