The Elk Grove Village Police Department is now on the Neighbors App by Ring! You can text “elkgroveil” to 555888 or go to the App Store to download it for free. The Neighbors App connects neighbors and provides a space to exchange information on suspicious activities, crimes, and other alerts in your direct neighborhood. Residents do NOT need a camera to sign up for the app, and they are anonymous when using it. The Police Department uses the app to request video from homes near a crime or suspicious activity and to push out alerts to users.
