Where to Report a Lost Item in Beckley
Local channels and how ReportLost connects them for you.
Beckley Police Department
The primary place to file a lost item report. They maintain records and can link your report to items that come in via other channels. ReportLost files the report for you and ensures it reaches the right desk.
Raleigh County Sheriff's Office
Covers unincorporated areas and provides backup lost-item handling. If your loss occurred outside city limits, the Sheriff's Office may be the primary contact. We make sure your report reaches both agencies when needed.
New River Transit Authority
If you lost an item on a local bus, the Transit Authority's lost and found is where it's most likely to turn up. We identify which transit lines cover your loss location and direct your report to their center.
Raleigh County Memorial Airport
Traveling through or departing Beckley? If your loss involves baggage or an item at the airport, contact the airport directly or your airline's customer service. For airport-related items, we guide you to the right terminal contact.
City Hall & Community Services
Beckley City Hall can direct you to local resources and sometimes holds items found in public spaces. ReportLost can alert relevant city departments about your loss so they stay aware.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, time matters. The Humane Society of Raleigh County and local animal rescue groups are your first stop. They maintain lost-pet records and field tips from the community every day. File a priority lost pet report with us to activate a dedicated search channel.

Ready to get your report in motion?
The sooner you file, the sooner Beckley's police, transit, and community channels start working on a match. Once your report is submitted, you can stop juggling phone calls and monitoring sites. We've got it from here.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or other important item in Beckley means piecing together a puzzle: calling the police, checking with bus transit, contacting local shops and venues, monitoring Facebook groups, and hoping someone reports a found item to the right place. The problem is these systems don't talk to each other, and by the time you check them all, the window is shrinking.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. Submit one report and we connect with Beckley Police, the Raleigh County Sheriff's Office, New River Transit, and the community channels where people actually post found items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after day one. It stays active for your entire search period, matching new found-item posts against your description automatically, so you can trust that if something surfaces, you'll hear about it right away.
