Neighbors app provides users with real-time, local crime and safety information and aims to reduce crime in neighborhoods by connecting people, security cameras, and law enforcement.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Oxford Police Department<\/strong> today announced that it is the
first law enforcement agency in the state of Mississippi to join the Neighbors<\/strong> app by Ring (available via iOS\/Android here<\/a>) to provide the Oxford community with real- time, local crime and safety information. The Neighbors network already has millions of users and has been instrumental in catching package thieves, stopping burglaries, and keeping neighborhoods safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents can download the free Neighbors app, join their 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 their neighbors, local law enforcement, and the Ring team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxford Police Department has a community-oriented policing philosophy and provides around- the-clock patrols to our citizens. We are excited to partner with \u2018Neighbors\u2019 by Ring which will provide an effective tool for our citizens to update their community and keep everyone aware of
crime within their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Siminoff<\/strong>, Chief Inventor and Founder of Ring, said: \u201cOver the past few years we have learned that when neighbors, the Ring team, and law enforcement all work together, we can create safer communities. We\u2019re excited to have the Oxford Police Department 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
