Police radio frequencies
 
   

What are the police radio frequencies? This question comes up all the time. I mean, the police radio frequencies are not encrypted. That means that anyone with a device that can pick them up is able to listen to those. I don't know what the law says about that. Are these not free air waves? Sticky question. I know I saw a legal brief from the State of Florida that was addresses certain restrictions on what you can and can't install related to these police restricted frequencies. I also know there has been huge controversy over the cell phone tapping that the government has been doing.

Here is a chart of frequencies that perhaps will help you out as you research this question.

Frequency(kHz) Name Abbr.
10–30 Very low VLF
30–300 Low LF
300–3,000 Medium MF
3,000–30,000 High HF
30,000–300,000 Very high VHF
300,000–3,000,000 Ultra high UHF
3,000,000–30,000,000 Super high SHF
30,000,000–300,000,000 Extremely high EHF
