Ring app
Manhattan Beach Police Department announced a new partnership with the home security system Ring by joining the Neighbors app network. Residents can download the free Neighbors app to monitor neighborhood activity, receive real-time safety alerts from their neighbors, MBPD and the Ring team. According to MBPD, police will not have the ability to access any Ring device, know a device’s location and we will not receive any account information of Ring users.”The Neighbor’s app has millions of users and has been instrumental in catching package thieves, stopping burglaries and keeping neighborhoods safe,” MBPD said. “Please download the app and help keep Manhattan Beach safe!”
