In an effort to assist citizens of Dallas who have lost personal property while allowing

police officers to remain available for emergency situations, the Dallas Police

Department has enabled citizens to complete their own Lost Property Reports. These

reports are available to all citizens with the following guidelines:

• Lost Firearms cannot be reported with this form. In the event of a lost firearm,

call 911 to make the report.

• As an official document, any falsifications on the form may result in Criminal

Charges for “Filing a False Police Report”.

• Lost Property is not a criminal action and therefore will not generate any police

follow-up. If lost property is due to a crime being committed, you will need to

call 911 to make your report.

• Property listed on this form WILL NOT be entered into any of the crime

databases.

• Property lost outside Dallas City Limits or last seen outside Dallas City Limits

may not be reported to the Dallas Police Department. It must be reported to the

agency with jurisdiction for that location.

To File your report:

1. Complete the Lost Property Form leaving the Report Number blank. Be as

thorough as possible including description of the lost item and a brief explanation

of where and how the property was lost.

2. Call (214) 670-0843 to obtain your Report Number. Inform the operator that you

need a Report Number for a Lost Property Form.

3. Write the Service Report Number in the appropriate box (located near the top of

the form on the left hand side).

PLEASE NOTE: FORMS WITHOUT A REPORT

NUMBER ARE NOT OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS AND

WILL NOT BE RECORDED BY THE POLICE

DEPARTMENT.

4. Make a copy of the completed form – this will be your official police report.

5. Mail the completed form to the following address:

Dallas Police Department

Records Division

1400 S. Lamar Sr.

Dallas, TX 75215

ATTN Scan Unit
