How ReportLost works in Jackson
You file a report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to route your case to the right Jackson authorities and community channels right away.
We connect you with the right places
Your report goes to Jackson Village Police, the Jackson County Animal Shelter (if it's a pet), and relevant local lost-and-found groups. We handle the routing so you don't have to call around.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and cross-references new found items, community posts, and local announcements. We alert you the moment a credible match appears, so you can move on instead of refreshing Facebook groups every day.
Where your lost item might be in Jackson
We connect your report to each of these channels so you don't have to
Jackson Village Police Department
The Jackson Police hold found items and can take lost property reports. We provide them with your full details and location, so your case is already on their radar.
Jackson Village Hall
The Village Clerk's office can assist with inquiries about lost items found on municipal property or at village events. We can point you to the right desk and tell you what info to have ready when you call.
Jackson County Animal Shelter
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the shelter is your first stop. They reunite animals with owners and maintain a daily lost-and-found list. Once you file a priority lost pet report with us, we ensure they have your description and contact info immediately. If you haven't already, file a priority lost pet report.
Local Facebook Groups & Community
Jackson County residents rely on Facebook groups like "Lost and Found Pets of Jackson County Wisconsin" and community word-of-mouth. We post your report to these groups so neighbors see it without you having to manage multiple posts.

The sooner you report, the better
Every hour counts when something is lost. The faster your details reach Jackson Police, the animal shelter, and community channels, the higher the odds someone will recognize your item or pet and connect it back to you. Once your report is filed with us, our team takes it from there, and your report stays active so matches can find you for months.
Report my lost item →Losing a purse, phone, or beloved dog in Jackson means navigating separate systems: the police department, animal control, Facebook groups, and community boards all operate independently. By the time you figure out who to contact and what to say, precious hours have passed, and your item could already be claimed by someone else or moved to storage.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File once with us, and we immediately notify Jackson Village Police, the Jackson County Animal Shelter, and local community channels on your behalf. Your report then stays active, searching for a match across all relevant sources for months to come, while you focus on other things. No daily monitoring required; we alert you when something credible surfaces.
