The Lakeport Police Department is partnering with Ring, the video doorbell manufacturer and is participating in Ring’s Neighbors app. The app allows users to track criminal activity in their neighborhood in real time through their smart devices, similar to an online neighborhood watch. In partnering with Ring through the Neighbors app, the Lakeport Police Department will be able to send real-time alerts to residents, provide updates about local crime and other safety concerns, as well as submit requests to residents for video footage relevant to investigations in specific geographic areas. See how it works with a video posted on LPD’s Facebook page.
