The Neighbors network already has millions of users and has been instrumental in catching package thieves, stopping burglaries, and keeping neighborhoods safe. “The Neighbors app takes ‘see something; say something’ to the next level,” said Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean. “Our residents will be able to actively participate with us and Ring in keeping our neighborhoods safer.” Download the free Neighbors app, join your neighborhood, and use the app to: monitor neighborhood activity; share crime and safety-related videos, photos and text-based posts; and receive real-time safety alerts from your neighbors, local law enforcement and the Ring team.

We’re excited to have the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office join Neighbors and applaud their leadership in utilizing this free and effective tool to engage residents with up-to-date local crime and safety information while maintaining neighbor privacy first and foremost.” How It Works ● Download the Neighbors app (via iOS/Android here: https://download.ring.com/venturacountyso). ● 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.
