The Miami University Police Department no longer serves as a central
colletion point for all found items. Since most people check first at the location where they believe they may
have misplaced their property, each university department or office is responsible for maintaining most of the
items found in or around its buildings.
The police department continues to provide lost and found services for property considered "big ticket
items". This includes bank cards, cash, cellular telephones, checkbooks, computers, electronics and other
items of significant value. Anyone wanting to turn over such items should call the police department Communications
Center at (513) 529.2222 to arrange for a police officer to pick up the property.
Miami University identification cards should be sent directly to the ID Office at 119 Campus Avenue Building
(CAB). University keys (including all keys on the ring or key tab) should be sent to the Physical Facilities Office
at the Cole Service Building.
On occasion, keys and eyeglasses are still turned in at the Police Services Center. These items are stored in
the reception area and may be viewed from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through friday.
Any questions pertaining to the safeguarding or disposal of found property may be referred to Det. Sgt. Jim Bechtolt at (513) 529.1449. The Miami University Police also continue to operate the Lost & Found message center at
(513) 529.8135.
