Lost and Found
Lost and found items, either turned in by a member of the community or found by an officer, are logged in on a daily basis during the week (Monday through Friday) and are stored at the Department of Public Safety for thirty days. After thirty days the items and their contents are donated to local charity. In order to claim a lost item, you must bring a photo identification card.
To pick up a lost item for someone other than yourself, the item's owner must submit to the department a signed letter, stating that they give their permission to the recipient to pick up their lost item. The letter should include the owner's social security number, telephone number, full name, as well as their signature. The letter must also include the full name of the recipient.
Inquiries can be made into lost items on weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eye glasses and keys are available 24-hours a day.
Lost GOCards
All Georgetown One Cards (GOCards) received by the Lost and Found are sent to the GOCard Office at the opening of business Monday through Friday.
To inquire about a lost GOCard, please contact the GOCard Office directly, at (202) 687-2700, located on the ground floor of Darnall Hall (G-3). To check to see if your card was received by Department of Public Safety, please call (202) 687-4343 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
You should deactivate your GOCard as soon as possible upon discovering that it is missing. This can be accomplished in several convenient ways. You can visit the online card office website and deactivate your GOCard on-line 24 hours a day. Once deactivated, no one will be able to use your card. When you obtain your new GOCard, your Debit Account and Munch Money Account balances will be available immediately. A lost card does not mean lost money, if it is reported promptly. Refer to the GOCard Terms and Conditions for further details on lost and stolen cards.
