Where to Report Lost Items in New London
Here's what happens locally, and how ReportLost speeds up the process
New London Police Department Lost & Found
The Police Department maintains a physical lost and found for items turned in by residents and businesses. Items are held for 60 days before disposal. We'll make sure your report reaches them right away, and we generate all the details you'll need if you contact them directly.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Restaurants, shops, banks, and parks throughout New London often receive lost items. Instead of calling each one individually, we connect your report to the businesses and venues in the area where your loss occurred, saving you hours of phone calls.
Community Posts & Local Networks
New London residents actively share found items on Facebook groups and community forums. Your report gets posted where neighbors who found something are already looking, multiplying your chances of a quick return.
Lost Pet? We Have a Faster Track
If you've lost a cat or dog, ReportLost connects you with local shelters, veterinary clinics, and pet networks immediately and keeps your pet's details circulating for the full search period. File a priority lost pet report

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the New London Police Department keep lost items?
Items held at the Police Department's lost and found are kept for 60 days from the date they're logged. After that, unclaimed items may be disposed of. This is why reporting quickly and getting in touch with them promptly matters so much.
Can I contact the Police Department directly about my lost item?
Yes. You can call the New London Police Department at (920) 982-8500 or visit the lost and found page at newlondonwi.org. ReportLost makes sure your report reaches them automatically, but you're welcome to follow up directly.
What if I lost something at a business or restaurant?
Most New London businesses keep found items behind their counter or in an office. Our service alerts the relevant businesses and venues in the area where you lost the item, so they know to look through their lost and found.
Are there shelters or rescues I should contact if my pet is missing?
Yes. The Neenah Animal Shelter (nearby, phone 920-886-6000) and PetsGoHome.org are excellent resources for missing pets. Our lost pet report connects you directly to these networks and keeps your pet's information circulating throughout the community for your entire search period.
How long does ReportLost keep searching for my item?
Your report stays active and searching for 12 months, depending on your choice. During that entire time, we're matching new found-item posts and announcements against your description, so you don't have to check back every day.
Is ReportLost.org an official city service or affiliated with the New London Police Department?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside local police, businesses, and community channels, not affiliated with or endorsed by the City of New London or the Police Department. We route your report to official channels and help amplify your search, but we don't replace reporting to the Police Department directly. Many people use both.
