Law enforcement, fire, and EMS for all of Calhoun County combined.
▶ ListenCalhoun County public safety runs on the Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System (ISICS) — a P25 Phase II trunked radio network. A conventional analog scanner can't follow a trunked system, because agencies don't sit on a fixed frequency — the network assigns channels dynamically and organizes traffic into talkgroups. NCISS decodes the trunk and streams the talkgroups as plain audio in your browser.
No ads, no pre-roll, no paywall. Talkgroup names are visible to everyone, not locked behind a subscription.
