Dispatchr vs Police Scanner

Know your neighbourhood. Not just what happened, but what's normal. Dispatchr turns official public-safety dispatch data into a clear picture of your city and the streets around you: what's happening now, how it compares to a typical day, and how your area is trending. Context, not alarm. YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, AT A GLANCE Pick your neighbourhood and Dispatchr does the rest. You get the real boundary on the map, today's activity against the usual, the busiest and quietest areas across the city, and a focused view of just your streets. Or zoom out and explore the whole city. INSIGHTS, NOT JUST INCIDENTS The dashboard reads your city for you: peak-activity hours, neighbourhood rankings, what's trending up or down, rare sightings worth a second look, and activity spotlights. City Reports summarize every weekday, weekend and month, and you can have them emailed, including an edition for your own neighbourhood. LIVE MAP & FEED Events appear as clean, colour-coded markers by type and priority, with details a tap away: call type, location, time, priority and responding agency. Filter by service, event type, priority or neighbourhood; sort by newest, oldest, type or priority; share any event by link. NOTIFICATIONS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE No account needed. Follow exactly what you care about and manage it all in one place: your neighbourhood, your whole city, priority calls only, one agency, new reports, spotlights or rare events. LOOK BACK IN TIME See the recent window free, or search any day in the last 30 days on Plus to spot patterns. DATA YOU CAN TRUST Dispatchr ingests official agency feeds and validates every event. Anomalies are flagged, never hidden, so you know the confidence behind what you see. Counts are when calls were reported, not when things happened, and update frequency varies by city and agency.
