I don't know where you live but in canada most of the police services have moved from using regular communications systems to a newer system known as "Trunking". You will need to by a trunk tracker scanner in order to listen to what they are saying. These scanners are a bit more difficult to program than the older type because not only do you need to program the frequency the police are using, you also have to program a 4 digit code for the division you want to listen to. If you live in an area where the cops have not moved to a trunking system then you can use a conventional scanner and listen to cops, fire, ambulance, cordless phone calls, ham radio, and much more. You can buy either type of these scanners at several electronics stores like "Radio Shack" "The Source In Canada" as well as stores that sell communications equipment like ham and cb radios. There are several brands but I like the "Uniden" units. You can get handheld battery operated models or one's for mobile or home base use. If you choose a mobile or home model then there are several types of antennas you can choose from. just make sure you get an antenna that is made for the frequncies you want to listen to. If you want to save some cash you will find tons of scanners for sale on "Ebay". Take care.<br><b>References : </b><br> The units are called "Scanners".
