Listen to Local Police Scanner online – Free Police Radio Feed

If you are looking for a place to listen to live police scanners over the internet without paying for it you’ve come to the right place. There are several websites that provide live police radio feeds.

Today’s so-called reality shows are too staged for my taste. Their contrived situations and semi-scripted actions actually render them somewhat less than real.

For unvarnished reality, try listening to a police scanner. You’ll hear real cops answering real crime calls. You’ll hear police officers as they head into potentially dangerous situations. You’ll hear police dispatchers as they try to keep up with everything from fender benders to shootings–all in a standard night’s work for many police departments.

When the first police scanners came out, my mother bought one so she could hear what was happening in her city, and especially to hear if anything bad was being reported in her own neighborhood.

I remember coming in late at night from a date to find her sitting at the kitchen table with the scanner going. Naturally, she had been worrying about where I was and listening to hear if there had been any wrecks.

When my brother became a policeman, my mother really had something to worry about–and an excuse to listen to the police radio day in and day out.

Police scanners are not just for professional worriers, though. Many people listen to them as a hobby. Newspaper, radio and TV reporters listen to them in order to get the first word of a major crime or accident so they can get to the scene quickly.

Nowadays, you don’t even need a police scanner to hear police calls in many cities. There are hundreds of live police radio feeds being streamed over the Internet. There are also fire department radio feeds as well. All you do is click a link for the city of your choice and start listening.
