Pflugerville PD Links With Ring To Help Fight Crime

PFLUGERVILLE, TX — The Pflugerville Police Department is joining the Neighbors App in a collaboration with Ring to help community solve crime, officials told Patch.

The Neighbors Public Safety Service is a program that allows public safety agencies to access Neighbors, an app created by Ring, to communicate with residents about crime in their area, officials explained. In turn, app users will also be able to engage with the department and share video from their Ring device to help solve crimes.

Similar to the Pflugerville Police Department’s Digital Neighborhood Watch program, the police department does not have direct access to security camera footage, officials stressed. Still, county officials said such programs help connect residents who may have information about a crime to police officers that can help them.
