Southern Maryland Police & Fire Radio Scanner

Notes:

We have 50 slots available for listening.  If all of the slots are used, you will receive an error message when trying to connect.  You can see the slot usage here.

12-July: We are seeking partners to host scanners in Calvert and Charles county.  If you have a scanner and a PC (we use an old PII) that you can dedicate, please contact us.  We'll provide the know-how and the server.  For your trouble, we'll promote your business here and in the intro audio on the scanner feed.

12-July: Our server is now on battery backup. This should minimize future downtime.

Need Help?

If you need help or the scanner is not working, please contact us.  If you would like us to get back in touch with you, please be sure to include your email address in the comments field.  You can also get Live Help:

10 Codes:

The police and emergency services personnel speak using 10 codes.  This makes communications more concise.  The best known codes are "10-4" meaning "OK, I understand" and "What's your 10-20?" as in "where are you at now?"  In order to follow the conversations, you will need to know the codes.  A reference sheet is here.
