RING Partnership

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with home security company Ring in an effort to make our community safer.

Occasionally, Ring devices capture video of suspicious activity or a crime.  Device owners will now have the ability to share these videos with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office utilizing the Neighbors App available free for download at the App Store or Google Play.

As an identified public safety user of the Neighbors App, the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office can post information about crime and safety alerts, view and comment on public posts within our jurisdiction, and use the video request feature to ask Ring to request video recordings from Ring device owners who are in the area of an active investigation.

Ring users can choose to share information or video recordings when the Sheriff’s Office uses the video request feature to seek information relevant to an investigation.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office, as a public safety user, cannot access or control your Ring device.  Additionally, we cannot view any Ring video recordings or see user’s names, contact information or location information unless the user posts the information to the Neighbors App or shares a video in response to a video request.

Ring will soon send an in-app announcement of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office participation to users through the Neighbors App.
