Dispatch Radio turns your phone into a US police, fire and EMS scanner, with a live map of what is happening right now. LIVE MAP - Dispatch incidents pinned across the United States. Tap a pin to open the incident: the recorded radio transmissions, a transcript, a short summary and scene imagery. REPLAYS - A feed of recent dispatch calls, newest first, so you can catch up on what you missed. STATE CHANNELS - Pick a state and let its transmissions play continuously, like a scanner running on the shelf. ALERTS - Severity levels let you decide how much you hear about: everything, or only the serious calls. LOCAL NEWS - Reporting tied to the same map appears as a secondary layer, for context on the bigger incidents. PRO - A Dispatch Radio Pro subscription unlocks full incident details, the complete audio threads and scene images, unlimited map access and alerts near you. IMPORTANT - Audio comes from publicly available dispatch radio traffic. It can be delayed, incomplete or interrupted, and this app is not an emergency service and not an official source. In an emergency, call 911. Scanner use is regulated differently from place to place, so please check the laws where you are. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings after purchase.
