Today, State Rep. Rodney Wakeman applauded the Saginaw Township Police Department for joining the Neighbors by Ring program to keep the local community informed with real-time crime and safety information. Residents can use the app to monitor local conditions, share safety and crime tips, and receive real-time alerts from law enforcement and their neighbors. The Saginaw Township Police Department is the first law enforcement agency in the state to participate in the program.

“I commend the vision and proactive nature of our local law enforcement,” Rep. Wakeman said. “Building trust and community partnerships is key to preventing and effectively responding to crime. This is just one more tool to help keep our families safe. Thank you to the men and women of the Saginaw Township Police Department for all they do to protect us and strengthen our neighborhoods.”
