The U.S company Ring Inc. which makes home camera system has a 'neighbours app' that allows people to join the Ring Network which is connected to police. If there is a crime in a certain neighbourhood, police can notify people with the cameras system that they require the footage. "They would then identify the area, push a button and it pushes out a request to everyone who is on the system saying police are requesting camera footage on this date, between this time, do you authorize the release of the camera footage," says Mayor Drew Dilkens. Speaking on AM800's the Lynn Martin Show, Mayor Dilkens says people can approve or reject the request. Dilkens says it would save police time and resources instead of going door-to-door to get camera footage.  "You can imagine how resource intensive it is for police to go business to business trying to get camera footage," he says.  Dilkens emphasizes the talks are in the preliminary stages, but he believes it is a tool worth exploring.  Just 15 New Cases of COVID-19 Reported Sunday There are currently 51 people in hospital being treated for the virus Black History Month Marked with Challenge to Buy from Black-Owned Businesses Black Business Can will be spotlighting local Black businesses in an effort to raise awareness More than $130K Raised for Alzheimers Society of Windsor-Essex Local business Ground Effects pledged to match donations up to $50,000 Audio The Afternoon News - Canadian Acting Icon Christopher Plummer has Dies The Afternoon News - Part Shortage at Windsor Assembly LOAD MORE LOAD MORE Upcoming Events Sending Love with Hospice Dine YQG Rotary Club Catch the Ace Changing Lives Together 50/50 In Honour Colours of Change Gala LOAD MORE LOAD MORE Group element AM 800 footer Contact Us News Shows Contests News Audio Events Logo AM 800 AM 800 contact information 1640 Ouellette Avenue Windsor ON N8X 1L1 Phones Studio/Contest Lines 519-792-2559 News Tips 519-253-9494 Email newscentre@am800cklw.com Website Facebook Twitter Instagram 10800 Sms* User Login Edit profile Log out Just 15 New Cases of COVID-19… Just 15 New Cases of COVID-19 Reported Sunday Group Footer EN iHeartRadio Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram iHeartRadio For You My Stations Live Radio Podcasts News Features Events Contests Contact iHeartRadio 299 Queen Street West Toronto ON M5V 2Z5 Phone Websites iHeartRadio Terms and Conditions iHeartRadio Privacy Policy Contact Us Political Ad Registry Get the apps Google Play Apple Store
