Scanner Radio

Blog
Every city runs its radio a little differently. Some split police dispatch by district, some put police, fire, and EMS on one countywide channel, and some send the suburbs to an entirely different system. Each guide below covers one metro area: which feeds to pick, what you'll hear on them, and how to start listening on your phone. Most people start with the feed that covers their own neighborhood, then branch out from there.
Don't see your city? Every guide works the same way in the Scanner Radio app: search for your town or county and pick a feed. You can also browse every scanner feed by state and county.
