Sadly most police in high-urban areas are moving to encrypted radio so for anyone living near bigger populations they might not get as much use out of it. Personally I usually only get some backup frequencies and maybe sheriff dispatch or fire department, otherwise most emergency services are switching to the same system (high-band Motorola networks) for ‘disaster preparedness’. I still encourage people to check of course and if you’re anywhere else you definitely should be able to listen in on local comms.
Ah the classic format returns
