About

ChicagoPoliceScanner.com keeps viewers informed about the neighborhoods, criminal activity and police operations by helping viewers locate public law enforcement radio communications that are available.

Please note that posts are provided from public safety radio communications "scanner radios" (original messages or aggregated from other social media accounts) AND from information provided from authorities or witness reports. PLEASE NOTE that radio communications and caller reports can involve incorrect or inaccurate information. There is no guarantee that the information will be updated to provide the accurate description of the incident. In many cases, it takes court case proceedings to determine what actually happened in an incident. 

EARLY REPORTS CAN BE DECEIVING, OR IN CONTRAST ... 100% PURE TRUTH. PERCEPTION OF REALITY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FROM YOUR ASSIMILATION OF MULTIPLE INFORMATION SOURCES OVER A CONTINUUM OF TIME. SOMETIMES TRUTH IN REPORTING BECOMES MORE ACCURATE WITH TIME; AND SOMETIMES IT BECOMES CENSORED, SUPPRESSED AND/OR SANITIZED, AND LESS ACCURATE OR LESS COMPREHENSIVE WITH TIME. USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.
