The Ring Alarm system does call the police if you’re signed up for Ring’s Protect Plus Plan. This plan costs $10 a month or $100 for an entire year. Ring doesn’t automatically call the police, however. If monitoring detects a burglar alarm, a panic alarm, or an SOS alarm, it will first try to contact you, then your emergency contact. If no one answers this call, they will then call the police. In addition, they will contact the police immediately if you trigger an alarm to signal you are under duress. On the other hand, emergency dispatch is not available with Ring’s free and Basic Protect plans.
