You can purchase used police radios from auction sites or eBay.
Any decent scanner will pick them up. If you do some google, you will find their frequencies. Not hard at all. |

well i found this while searching google.
Canada allows anything to be monitored but you may not disclose details of a conversation not broadcast to the general public.

Don't get the nascar scanner. It's a waste of money. Get a proper, open scanner. It will receive everything in the air.
You can't mix cb antenna with scanner. Different frequencies.
The CB is AM, and it's between 26Mhz - 27Mhz. There's also SSB for long distance communication. Well it's longer than CB, which is limited to 5 miles.
If you love travelling and talking, then get a unit that is AM/FM/CW/SSB. It'll give you lot of channels and choices.

Does anyone know of a site where I can find the frequency to pick up my local police in UK?
Also is this legal? |
