Live Police Reports Similar to Waze

 

I just purchased the POI red light and speed camera subscription.

Is there anything available for live police reports similar to Waze either through POI Factory or another company for Garmin GPS units?

Phantom Alert?

I forgot to mention I came across Phantom Alerts and it looks outdated but wondering if this could be a service looking into for live police reports such as live radar traps etc.

What is Phantom Alerts?

CB Radio

Either a CB radio or a scanner receiver so you can listen in on the CB band.

Works pretty good.

When you are dead, you don’t know that you are dead. It is only difficult for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.

I just checked, they have

I just checked, they have POI file for all different GPS brands with monthly, yearly or three years subscription plans. Once you pay then you download their poi files or I think you can use it on your phone app as well..
Not sure how good it is..

There was a time when this would have been the way to go for sure, and it can still be useful depending on where you are. I have been into scanners for a very long time and the recent trend for police is getting away from over the air broadcast in favor of computer delivered messages and/or encryption. It's a dying hobby as a result.

Digital

Unfortunately, most LE and first responders have or soon will switch to digital so we can no longer hear or obtain their activity.

It's ironic how Waze used to have Traffic Reports as a list which included police locations too. Then Waze was pressured by some LE in the USA which caused them to remove the listing, yet the location of LE does appear if you're close enough or pan around the Waze app.

Sadly, there's no app that I'm aware of (and I searched extensively) which has real time info. Furthermore, many apps erroneously post fictitious locations of speed cameras where not exist. It's the same old concept: garbage in, garbage out.
