Albany, OR – CB World carries Uniden Police (Radio) Scanners that range in price from $119.00 to $549.00. These scanners are called police scanners because people often use them to monitor police activity. Like listening to am or fm frequencies, a listener can use a proper radio to tune in to the frequencies used by police and fire departments. While police officers and fire fighters communicate over these frequencies using two-way radios, listeners can scan the frequencies and hear the communications by using radio scanners.
Some people think that only criminals use police scanners. However, very few criminals actually utilize radio scanners in this manner. Most of those who do use scanners are law-abiding citizens. Radio scanners are good for listening to police frequencies, but they have other additional uses. Listeners may also check fire department frequencies or imminent weather information. Knowing the probable path of a coming tornado or hurricane often helps listeners make better decisions about what type of safety precautions they need to take in the event of such a disastrous storm.
Other useful information that people gather from listening to police scanners includes information about toxic chemical spills, fire emergencies, neighborhood crime awareness, ambulance activity, and air traffic control. Though obviously very useful, many people just listen to scanners simply because they enjoy the excitement of knowing the news as it happens.
