The Fort Wayne Police Deparment (FWPD) strongly encourages the public to file a police report if they discover that they are missing property.  Reports can be filled online at: https://www.fwpd.org/Citizens-Online-Reporting

On a daily basis, FWPD locates property or has items turned in by citizens.  While we are able to return some of those items to rightful owners, not every item is able to be matched to an owner due to no report of the loss being filed. 

When a citizen reaches out regarding a lost item, we request identifying information such as serial numbers, or photographs, be made available to the FWPD in an effort to match those items to any recovered property.  Stating that, “I know what my item looks like” is not sufficient. We also ask that if you have filed a report in the past, follow-up with us to see if an item that has since been found, can be matched to your specific report.

Photographs and serial number information for lost property can be submitted via the Gmail account: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. once you have filed a police report. Please reference the report number on your email.
