Where your lost item might be in Howard
And where to report it (or let us route it for you)
Howard Police Department
Lost or found a personal item around town? The Howard Police Department takes lost property reports and maintains records of items turned in. We can fill out your report details and point you to the right desk, or handle the whole submission for you.
Brown County Sheriff's Found Property
Brown County Sheriff's Office maintains a searchable database of found property. Items can sit there for a while, so checking it regularly helps, but it's easy to miss updates. We search it for you and alert you if something matches your description.
Green Bay Metro Transit
Left a purse or bag on a bus? Green Bay Metro collects items daily from their routes serving the Howard area. We know exactly what info to provide when you call or visit their lost and found office.

If you lost something at the airport or on a flight through Green Bay, the airport's lost and found team can help. We generate the exact information to include when you contact them.

The earlier your description is in the system, the more likely it connects with the right person at the right time. Once you report to us, that's it, you're covered—we take care of routing and watching.
