police scanner frequencies

Listening to Encrypted Police Frequency on a Radio Shack PRO 197 Digital Trunk Tracking Scanner. Hopefully we never see the day when all ...

Im looking for police scanner frequencies for Greenville Mississippi or the surrounding area.

Try http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?s id=2492 They're on the Washington County trunking system.

(BTW, this is for scanners that scan documents into computers, but since I know where to find what you need ...)

Price: $79.99

Handheld scanner for monitoring police and fire signals, weather transmissions, ham radio bands, and more
Comprehensive memory with 100 channels over 10 banks; Close Call RF technology identifies nearby signals
Runs on 2 AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries (these can be be recharged while in the scanner)
Easily locate specific calls with 6 preprogrammed service searches, including public safety, railroad, and marine
Compact design fits comfortably in hand; easy-to-read backlit display, lockable keypad for saving settings

I know that you can purchase some scanners on amazon, but I am wondering if one can receive police and other waves by a regular FM radio.

Another part of my question is that why police scanners are so popular on amazon? I know... you might say I am one of them! yes... but I was just curious about other people.

For obvious reasons, the police and other services operate on different frequency bands from commercial radio stations, so your regular FM radio is not sufficient.

As to why scanners are popular, some folk are just curious, others have criminal intent and wish to know if the police are closing in.

Price: $99.99

RF capture technology instantly tunes to signals from nearby transmitters
Lock out unwanted frequencies with search and temporary lockouts
300-channels base mobile scanner with 100 channels/second scan speed (max)
Coverage includes "action" bands for police, ambulance, fire, amateur radio, etc.
Preprogrammed service search lets you find your favorites quickly

I ha\ve searched and everything I fin\d has a membership. Please help.

There are a couple of ways you can obtain emergency service police frequencies;

1) Radio Shack sells books that identify by State and Agency Name.

2) Do an internet search "Police Frequencies (Name of Agency or State)"

3) Contact the agency you're inquiring about and they should be able to tell you.

One thing to remember is many agencies are now employing the use of digital trunking systems where you have to obtain extremely expensive equipment to purchase.

My own agency uses both systems so you will normally hear routine radio traffic on the main system while more sensitive information is conducted over the digital system.

Happy listening!
