Maine police scanner feeds
A free Maine police scanner: live police, fire, and EMS radio streaming from Maine, with no radio hardware and no account. Counties with several feeds have their own page listing every channel; the rest are shown here with their feed count. All of it plays free in the Police Scanner app.

How coverage is spread across Maine
Maine's 89 feeds are spread over 17 counties: 3 have a single feed, 9 have two to four, and 5 have five or more. The 5 largest listings — Cumberland (14), Washington (13), York (13), Aroostook (10) and Kennebec (8) — carry 65% of everything streaming from the state.
Of the 5 counties with their own page, 4 carry a police or sheriff channel, 5 carry fire and 5 carry EMS.
Washington has fire or EMS feeds but no law-enforcement channel listed. That pattern usually means the local police or sheriff has encrypted its radio, so fire and medical dispatch is what remains open to listen to there.
Feeds are filed by county, not by town. If your town is not in the tables above, look for the county it sits in — city police and fire channels are listed under it. The guide to finding your local feed covers the rest.

Before you listen
Scanner listening is legal across the United States, with narrow exceptions — the rules by state. If your local police channel is missing, it has most likely been encrypted; fire and EMS usually remain open in the same area.
Not an emergency service. Scanner audio can be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. In an emergency, call 911.
