Another thing that will help everyone to know what is going on around them. It is becoming less and less useful as public services start adopting frequency hopping systems and encryption. That is the old system of radio scanners. Problem is that the scanners that are actually able to pick up on these systems are getting more and more expensive as police and military do their best to keep us (the people) out of the loop (which I might add that in the case of police and law enforcement is completely illegal and invalidated transparency). In certain cases like the sub-urban and rural areas where radio is still used in the clear for the most part scanners are still effective. So what I recommend is tuning into other people's scanners. A great deal of the time people who have the money to broadcast scanners like this also have the money to buy the good scanners. Anyway, here is the website to tune into the scanner network. Some coverage is better than none.
