Crime & Safety

FLPD Teams Up with

'Neighbors' By Ring

Video Doorbell

By Detective Tracy Figone

he Fort Lauderdale Police Department is
excited to announce our new partnership
T with ‘Neighbors’ by Ring Video Doorbell,
the first effort of its kind in the entire state of
Florida. Neighbors is a neighborhood watch
app from home security company Ring that provides real-time, local crime and
safety information and puts the power of millions of neighbors and security
cameras at your fingertips.
The Neighbors application (app) creates a network of connected
neighbors that can communicate in real time about neighborhood
safety. The Fort Lauderdale Police Department will use the network as
a new way to gather information and share crime and safety alerts with
our neighbors.
This partnership provides our department with an additional crime reduction
strategy and will enhance the Department's effectiveness in our continuing efforts
to reduce crime and improve safety throughout our city.

How It Works
• Download the Neighbors app on iOS and Android
• Opt-in to join your neighborhood.
• Customize the geographic area you want to receive notifications for (users must
verify where they are located and cannot participate in other neighborhoods).
• Receive real-time alerts from your neighbors, local law enforcement and the
Ring team that inform of crime and safety alerts as they happen.
• View local crime and safety posts via a live feed or interactive map.
• Share text updates, photos and videos taken on any device, including Ring's
home security devices.
Work with your community to make neighborhoods safer.
The Fort Lauderdale Police Department encourages our neighbors to download
the Neighbors application (iOS/Android), join their neighborhood and discover
the power that can emerge from combining neighbors, cameras and the Fort
Lauderdale Police Department. Visit www.flpd.org/ring to learn how to download
the Neighbors app by Ring.
