Want a police radio scanner in your pocket? Juicy Development has come out with Police Scanner app for the iPhone, called Police Scanner, for finding and listening to live streams of local police dispatch frequencies throughout the country. Police Scanner for iPhone connects to over 500 streams that you can listen to on your iPhone, which is good for volunteer fire fighters, news crews, and emergency responders. A volunteer can now pick up the stream and listen in without purchasing expensive radio hardware that is usually locked into a specific frequency.

Similar to Emergency Radio, Police Scanner uses the location-aware technology built into the iPhone to help users locate streams near you, or allows you to search through a list of all available streams from across the country. A few international streams have been added and the international directory is expected to grow.
