▶ ListenNCISS is operated by a licensed Iowa ham radio operator who monitors this system every day — so when a talkgroup changes or a channel goes quiet, it gets noticed and the page stays accurate. This isn't a feed pulled into a distant national aggregator; it's a curated local stream built from what's actually on the air.
Carroll 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; 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.
Law, fire, and EMS for Carroll County in a single stream — the complete picture in one place.
Carroll County Jail traffic is encrypted and isn't carried here — we tell you exactly what's open and what isn't, not just what's convenient.
Operated by a licensed Iowa ham radio operator who actively monitors and maintains this system.
The Carroll County Sheriff and area fire departments dispatch law enforcement, fire, and EMS for communities throughout the county on the channels carried here — including Carroll, Glidden, Manning, Coon Rapids, Arcadia, Templeton, Halbur, and the rural areas in between. One stream covers the whole county.
Carroll — the county seat — generates much of the county's public safety traffic, alongside six dedicated fire tactical channels and a countywide ROAM channel for mutual aid and interoperability.

Streams run 24/7 and are typically 30–60 seconds behind real time, normal for internet streaming. Not suitable for emergency response. If you need emergency services, call 911.
