Amazon's Ring service may have 200 police department partnerships already
Amazon's Ring security service is reportedly working with 200 law enforcement agencies.
According to an email obtained by Motherboard, Ring has forged partnerships with law enforcement agencies, some of which require the agencies to advertise Ring home security services in exchange for free units and for access to an anonymized portal that lets them request security footage from users.
The email, which is dated April 16, reportedly contains notes taken during a Ring webinar by a police officer that claim 200 law enforcement agencies are using Ring's "Law Enforcement Neighborhood Portal" – which allows police departments to see the approximate locations of all Ring cameras nearby and to request footage from their owners.
