Police ScannerOrange County, California police scanner feeds
These are the public-safety radio feeds currently streaming from Orange County, covering fire, aviation and amateur radio. Anything listed here can be played free in the Police Scanner app, with no account.
No law enforcement feed here. Orange County has fire or EMS coverage but no police channel listed. That usually means the agency has encrypted its radio system, which removes it from public listening entirely — no scanner or app can receive it. Why this happened →

What you are hearing
Dispatch traffic is terse and preliminary — calls are described before anyone has arrived, details change constantly, and the people discussed have not been charged with anything. The guide to radio codes covers the shorthand, and fire and EMS radio explained covers alarm levels and apparatus.
Feeds run a few seconds to a minute behind real time, and quiet stretches are normal — an area this size genuinely goes minutes without traffic at night. If a feed seems dead, this covers how to tell.
