Police Scanner X

Live public-safety radio in one app

Police Scanner X lets you listen to police, fire, EMS and other public-safety radio streams from locations around the world. It suits anyone who follows local incidents, wants a quick way to check public-safety activity, or enjoys monitoring scanner traffic from other cities and regions.

Browse stations by place and service

The station list covers major city departments, county services and regional networks. Examples include Chicago Police, LAPD, San Diego Police Dispatch, Phoenix Police, Denver Police, Fire and EMS, the NYPD Special Operations Division, Philadelphia Police and public-safety feeds in parts of Australia. Many entries combine several services, such as police, fire, sheriff and emergency medical dispatch, so the useful feed depends on the area you want to follow.

Built for returning listeners

The app uses its own stream player and can resume the last station when it starts. That makes it practical for checking the same feed regularly rather than searching from the beginning each time. A police radio 10-code reference is included as well, giving newcomers some context when dispatch conversations use abbreviated terms.

Popularity and audience

With a 4.28 rating from 39,711 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs, Police Scanner X has a substantial listening audience. It is published by BEROBO (Police Scanner Radio) in the News & Magazines category. The app is a better fit for people who want live audio and a wide selection of feeds than for readers looking for written news reports or official incident summaries.
