Federal Police runs on a 380MHz TETRA, same case with the Army.

I'd be careful if I were you, the way things are in Mexico right now, the last thing I would like to have in a public place is a radio that can receive police or govt frequencies.

I believe they run secure Tetra because the drug dealers were coming on their conventional frequencies and threatening them. Probably don't matter, a lot of the cops are corrupt. Stay near the tourist area!

That's the case for most departments running conventional, unsecured systems. The Federales and some well-funded PD's are running digital and don't have those issues (San Pedro Garza Garcia is an example)

Well thanks for all the encouraging quotes, I have been to Cancun several times, never used a scanner there yet, did visit the local fire station in the hotel zone, they even gave me a Cancun Fd Tshirt, problem was no one really spoke English very well, so I couldnt find much out about the FD there, possible 2 stations, Anyway thanks for the help
