Referencing my reply of a day ago, if you want a taste of "scanning", or listening to the police broadcasts back in the 30's and 40's and even the 50's, visit this page from Harry Marnell's site from a few years ago. It talks all about the 1730 khz (kilocycles as it was called back then) police communications system. It also talks about how the police used the fact that the public listened in to their advantage as a public relations tool. Back then, they wanted us to listen.
