The audio you can listen to is sourced from volunteers, along with police and fire departments and 911 dispatch centers themselves. These audio feeds are obtained from real police scanners, ham radios, weather radios, aviation radios, and marine radios. They provide the same content you would hear using your own police scanner.

Popular departments that you can tune into using this app include NYPD, FDNY, LAPD, Chicago Police, and Detroit Police. Additionally, during hurricane season, it can be beneficial to listen to "hurricane net" scanners on ham radio, which provide weather conditions and damage reports during approaching or landfalling hurricanes and tropical storms. NOAA weather radio scanners are also available.

If you're interested in providing scanner radio audio for your area, you will need a real scanner radio, a computer, and a cable to connect the audio from the scanner to the computer. Once set up, you can program the scanner to monitor the desired content from your area, such as police dispatch channels, fire departments, 911 centers, ham radio repeaters, and so on. To share your feed on Broadcastify.com, visit their website and sign up for free by clicking on the Broadcast button. As a provider, you will have complete access to the audio archives for all the scanner feeds they host.
