"I am certain that these are not the only two cases that have assisted in the arrest of a suspect. There are other examples of doorbell/home surveillance cameras that have assisted in an investigation. "

Sgt. Ashlee Windler, Orlando Police Criminal Investigations Division Property Section Supervisor: "it is my opinion that they lead to more arrests and better prosecution.

"Unfortunately I do not have any stats or case information to provide you but I can say since we partnered with Ring, this has been a useful investigative tool for our department."

“We don't’ track where ring was used. So there’s no way to put an exact number on it.”

"I have asked and there is no tracking method for how many crimes or prosecutions have come from Ring cameras."

"Having these videos has assisted in connecting suspects to multiple crimes. Surveillance cameras are deterrents to some crimes. This is the only information that I can speak to."

Cited 24 arrests for all video surveillance, fwiw

"But i would say it’s been upwards of 100 cases, but perhaps we would have gotten the help in some other way."
