How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Oconomowoc. We gather the details that matter most to the right local authorities and community channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Oconomowoc Police Department, City Hall, relevant lost-and-found services, and local social networks where neighbors actively share findings.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues matching against new found items, community posts, and local announcements. You don't have to check back daily, we alert you if a credible match appears.
Where lost items and animals are reported in Oconomowoc
Each channel handles its own lost-and-found, but ReportLost alerts them all at once.
Oconomowoc Police Department
The Police Department's Lost and Found receives items turned in around the city and responds to lost pet reports. Staff answer calls between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, though the non-emergency line operates extended hours. We route your report directly to them and provide the exact contact number and details they need.
City of Oconomowoc City Hall
City Hall handles administrative reports and can direct you to the appropriate department or service. Hours are 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. We make sure your report is formatted with all the information City Hall needs to process it quickly.
Animal Services and Lost Pets
The City's Department of Public Works handles stray and lost animals. If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, report it here first, and also contact the Police Department non-emergency line. ReportLost connects you to both and ensures your pet's details are shared with the right services. Urgent sightings should be reported to Journey Home Animal Control. For a dedicated lost pet search with continuous monitoring, file a priority lost pet report.
Community and Social Networks
Oconomowoc neighbors actively share lost and found posts on Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Local pages like Waukesha County Lost Dogs and Cats and community Facebook groups are where many items and pets are reunited. ReportLost publishes your loss to these active channels so you're visible where people look.

Getting the word out works better when the word reaches everyone at once
Your report is most effective in the first hours and days. File now, and once it's submitted, the heavy lifting is done. Your report stays live and actively searching while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Oconomowoc can feel scattered. Between the Police Department, City Hall, animal services, and multiple community groups, you're never quite sure who has your wallet, purse, ring, or dog, or who to contact first. The systems don't talk to each other, so your lost item might be turned in to one place while you're searching another.
ReportLost simplifies that. One form reaches all the right channels at once, and your report continues working for you automatically. Instead of phoning around or refreshing social media every day, you submit once and get alerts when a match surfaces. It's the shortcut that takes the stress out of the search.
