Live Police Scanner, developed by Apps for Heroes, is a free lifestyle application that allows you to connect instantly with live broadcast stations. With this scanner, you can listen to police radios, fire alarms, railroad radios, air traffic control, emergency alerts, and amateur radio stations. It is a great way to keep updated about local news, emergency situations, and public safety affairs near you.

One of the best features of this app is the ability to reach live radios, including listener counts for each station. You can also view the stations located in each state and save your favorite stations for later usage. The last played station is always saved for convenience. Additionally, you can check alert feeds with descriptions about the alert and reach 10 code meanings for each state and town in the USA. The app also offers multiple theme support to choose from.

However, the app requires the "Location" permission to determine which scanners are located in your area when you select "Near." The app first attempts to determine your location via the network, and if that fails, it tries to determine your location via GPS.

Overall, Live Police Scanner is an excellent app for anyone who wants to stay informed about local news and emergency situations. The app is easy to use and offers a great variety of features.
