City of Lancaster and Lancaster Sheriff Boosters Announce Launch of the Ring Doorbell and Camera Reb
Be Part of the Solution to Reduce Crime with Ring
The City of Lancaster and the Lancaster Sheriff Boosters are pleased to announce the launch of the Ring Doorbell and Camera Rebate Program, unanimously approved by the Lancaster City Council at the September 11 meeting. Public safety is priority number one to both the City of Lancaster and the Lancaster Sheriff Boosters, which coincides seamlessly with Ring’s mission to reduce crime. Ring’s proven success is due to its extensive collection of home security products -- which allow nearby residents to connect via the Neighbors App to submit and receive real-time crime and safety alerts from neighbors, law enforcement, and the Ring team.
“Public safety is paramount to myself and the Lancaster City Council, and we realize that community engagement is a vital part of any successful initiative,” said Mayor R. Rex Parris. “This program offers residents the opportunity to work alongside their neighbors and local public safety entities with the goal of thwarting home burglaries in Lancaster.”
This program has been subsidized by a generous $50,000 contribution from the Lancaster Sheriff Boosters in partnership with the City which has allocated $50,000 in City funds, as well as a $50,000 match from Ring.
“As a member of both the Lancaster City Council and the Lancaster Sheriff Boosters, I’ve been blessed with a unique perspective of our community,” added Vice Mayor and Lancaster Sheriff Boosters Chairman, Marvin Crist. “Every day, I see just how powerful local partnerships can be – this program serves as a prime example of multiple organizations coming together, both public and private, in an effort to foster safer neighborhoods.”
