iPhone Apps that “tune you into” streaming police and fire radio services
Police Scanner for iPhone is a fun and useful tool for locating and listening to police dispatch frequencies throughout the country. Over 500 EMS operations stream their dispatch communications on the Internet. Police Scanner for iPhone connects to these streams and allows listeners to stay informed. Great for “On Call” volunteer fire fighters, news crews, and emergency responders. Allows you to listen in (but not broadcast) on police, fire, and EMS activities across the country. The developers will add any compatible stream to their app, so if there are no local radios listed now, there may be soon. Available for only US$2.99.
With Emergency Radio for iPhone, listen to over 900 live police, fire, EMS, and other emergency frequencies. Tune in to everything from the New York Fire Department (FDNY) to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Follow the conversations with ease using the built-in police and emergency scanner code list. Conveniently locate nearby frequencies using the Nearby feature. And quickly access your favorite frequencies with the Favorites list. It’s available in a free “Lite” version if you want to try it out on a handful of major cities, or you can spend a buck to get over 900 feeds from all over the US. Available for only US$0.99.
This apps can give you hours of fun, and it’s definitely worth listening in on why the cops visited your neighbor’s house at 3 A.M.
