Ring and Flock Cancel Partnership

In October 2025, Ring and Flock Safety announced our intention to work together on an integration with Community Requests. Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated. As a result, we have made the joint decision to cancel the planned integration. The integration never launched, so no Ring customer videos were ever sent to Flock Safety. 

At Ring, our mission has always been to make neighborhoods safer. That mission comes with significant responsibility—to our customers, to the communities we serve, and to the trust you place in our products and features.

Community Requests remain a core feature of Ring's mission. The feature empowers Ring camera owners to choose to share specific videos with local police in response to requests for help with active investigations – or ignore the request altogether. Participation is always voluntary. You have complete control over whether to respond to a Community Request and what you share. Every Community Request is publicly posted and searchable for complete transparency and auditability. 

Neighbors have already come together in a time of need utilizing this feature. When a shooting occurred near Brown University in December 2025, every second mattered. The Providence Police Department turned to their community for help, putting out a Community Request. Within hours, 7 neighbors responded, sharing 168 videos that captured critical moments from the incident. One video identified a new key witness, helping lead police to identify the suspect's vehicle and solve the case. With a shooter at large, the community faced uncertainty about their safety. Neighbors who chose to share footage played a crucial role in neutralizing the threat and restoring safety to their community. 

We remain focused on building tools that empower neighbors to help one another while maintaining strong privacy protections and transparency about how our features work. We’ll continue to carefully evaluate future partnerships to ensure they align with our standards for customer trust, safety, and privacy.
