Chicago PD Scanner

[FreeOperator]

So I have some down time while checking the forums, so I figured why not ask a question that will have people asking back "Whaddaya, new?!"

I notice that if you look at the most listened to feed on RR, it is always Chicago PD.

I was wondering why out of all the feeds that are on here, why is that one consistently the most listened to?

And the insults begin........

It's got the traffic people want to hear.

I personally like my local PDs, but you don't hear any gunfights or police chases on those

Chicago PD scanner is consistently #1 because it's a very high crime city. Lots of shootings, chases and other interesting calls to listen to. Chicago PD is also very easy & informal on the radio, no digital garble crap, no 10 codes to decipher, they give great victim conditions on injury calls and they like to crack jokes on the radio. Just an easy and interesting feed to listen to overall.

CPD (as Jason said) is much more entertaining that anything else out there. Listen to Winnetka, Park Ridge or Libertyville for an hour and you will be asleep, same for many other suburbs. If you like to hear traffic stops then the ISP on StarCom21 is your target of choice.

While CPD is often quite lacking in radio discipline, when the stuff hits the fan no one does it better. Makes for exciting listening and great entertainment for the armchair dispatcher. I know dozens of suburban cops that wish to be CPD when they grow up.
