FREQ

FREQ provides recent public-safety context in four views:

• Live Map — eligible recent activity when sufficiently precise public location information is available
• Live Wire — a chronological feed of approved public radio-derived information and transcripts, filterable by Police, Transit, Fire and EMS
• Social Wire — readable summaries of notable public-safety reports as they come in
• 14 Days — a rolling two-week record

Optional alerts: save your own words or phrases to be notified when they appear in a new Live Wire report, or turn on Nearby FREQ alerts (off by default). Choose your own alert sound.

FREQ is provided for informational and journalistic purposes. Reports are derived from public-safety radio, may be preliminary or unverified, and are subject to transcription error. FREQ is not an emergency service, dispatch service or official government feed and should not be relied upon for emergency response. For emergencies, call 911.
