Local Public services such as police, fire and EMS broadcast on various frequencies in your community, and its available to anyone with an interest and the proper equipment. Though often it can be mundane and boring, it can just as often be breaking news or information that can be useful to you, your family or friends. I encourage you to try scanning as a hobby, and you my find that it can be useful and interesting past time.
