Police radio
Police radio is a communications radio system used by law enforcement agencies all over the world.
The vast majority of economically developed countries police services have access to such equipment; also, in most countries, police cars have sets which are designed to receive calls from the control room, and respond. Also, small personal radios exist that allow each officer to carry one easily, as well as a large central room at the Police station which directs personnel to the location of emergency incidents. Portable police radios first appeared within the British police in 1969.
Due to security, the vast majority of countries have an encrypted radio system. This does not allow any other than the police themselves to listen to frequencies used.
In both Norway and Sweden, however, it is legal for private citizens to listen to the police radio, there are even streams available online. In Sweden, the police has a positive attitude towards people listening on their communication, seeing the listeners as potential informants.
Today, most police officers use radio scanners to receive police radio as well as other transmissions.
