Has anyone noticed that LAFD's "News and Information Page" contains a link to the privately-provided RadioReference LAFD scanner feed? Upper right icon saying "Click here to LISTEN LIVE." It links to the feed via an intermediate bitly.com link.
Probably not coincidentally, their TOS page says "The LAFD has provided links and pointers to Internet sites maintained by third parties ("Third Party Sites") and may from time to time provide third party materials on the Site. Neither the LAFD, the City of Los Angeles, subsidiary companies, affiliates, or suppliers operate or control in any respect the information, products or services on these Third Party Sites. The content, materials, and products or services available in or accessible through the Site are AS IS and, to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, the LAFD disclaims all warranties, express or implied..." and other disclaimers.
Who thought we would ever see it? But LAFD has a presence on an ever-increasing number of "social media" type sites, on which they participate in as close to real-time as they can, operating with no, or virtually no, dedicated budget for doing so.
