Ferguson Township Police Department Joins Neighbors by Ring

Ring

The Ferguson Township Police Department has joined Neighbors, a free app by Ring. With this new partnership, Ferguson Township Police will have another tool when investigating crimes.

Neighbors is a free and simple app that helps community members stay informed of local incidents and share neighborhood safety updates, while keeping their privacy protected. Neighbors brings residents together to have impactful safety conversations and engage with their local public safety agencies on the app in their area to make their neighborhoods safer. The app is available for anyone to use with or without a Ring device.

It’s important to note that local public safety officials do not have access to user cameras, live streams or personal information when using Neighbors. When an individual user chooses to post a video or comment on the app, they are identified only as “Neighbor #” and the location of posts are obscured to protect user privacy. Public safety officials are always identified by their last name and agency when using Neighbors and can view and comment as well as share posts to the app in their jurisdiction.

Residents can learn more about the Neighbors app and how public safety agencies use the Neighbors Public Safety Service by visiting   Ring’s  website  and the  Neighbors Public Safety Service homepage.
