Police Scanners

Hi.  This lens is constantly under construction, but you are free to start adding links to the 'Police Scanner Links' module below as I continue to build and develop the rest of this lens.  Check back often for updates!

C - Charles
D - David
E - Edward
F - Frank
G - George

    I'm listening to an online scanner right now, actually. I'm in Search and Rescue, so I like to listen to our county's Sheriff's scanner to see if there's any SAR activity going on. This way, I often know we're going to be called out well before we do, so I can be ready. And I hear lots of other interesting (and some not-so-interesting) stuff going on in the meantime. Anyhow, I found your lens in the Discovery Tool on my own lens about online scanners. Good info!

    Good phonetic alphabet except the Y is Young not Yellow. Other than that, it's good.
