Spin a photorealistic globe of live police, fire, and EMS radio. Tap a glowing station, fly in from orbit, and listen to the calls as they happen — or scroll back through 30 days of them.
The real interface — a globe you can hear.
Satellite imagery from space down to the street, with a glowing dot for every live system in the country.
New calls play back-to-back the moment they're recorded — just like a hardware scanner on your desk.
Every transmission is archived call by call. Scroll back to last night's storm or last week's chase.
Dispatch only? Fire only? Pick the channels you care about and mute the rest.
Audio continues while you browse the globe, switch apps, or lock your phone.
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Open the app and listen.
Public safety agencies broadcast on open, unencrypted airwaves — and a nationwide community of radio enthusiasts records them with software-defined radios, call by call.
Police Scanner brings that network to a globe: every volunteer-run station becomes a glowing dot you can tap and hear. Listening to unencrypted public safety radio is legal in the US — it's been a hobby for as long as radio has existed.
Police Scanner is free on the App Store. Tap a dot and start listening.
