The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with home security company Ring “in an effort to make the community safer,” the Sheriff’s Office announced last week. Ring devices sometimes capture video footage of suspicious activity or a criminal in the act, whether that be a theft or another form of crime. Ring owners will now have the ability to share these videos with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office through the Neighbors app, which can be downloaded for free on Apple’s App Store or the Google Play app store. The Sheriff’s Office will function as a public safety user on the Neighbors app. That means it can post information about crime and safety alerts, view and comment on public posts within its jurisdiction, and use the video request feature to ask Ring to request recorded video footage from Ring device owners who are in the area of an active investigation.
