Greene County is home

NCISS began here. The operator lives in Greene County, knows the agencies and the geography, and monitors the system every day — so when something changes on the air, it gets noticed and the talkgroups stay accurate. This isn't a feed pulled into a distant national system; it's a local operation for the people who live here.

Greene County public safety runs on the Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System (ISICS) — a P25 Phase II trunked radio network, monitored from the Jefferson / Seven Hills Park site. 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.

Free, with no catch

No ads, no pre-roll, no paywall. Talkgroup names are visible to everyone, not locked behind a subscription.

Three streams, your choice

Law only, fire/EMS only, or everything combined. Pick the lane you actually want.

Nothing encrypted

Greene keeps its whole public safety system in the clear — so you can actually hear your county, start to finish.

Local, not national

Operated by a licensed Iowa ham radio operator who lives in Greene County and supports the community here.


Coverage across Greene County

The Greene County Sheriff dispatches law enforcement, fire, and EMS for communities throughout the county on the channels carried here — including Jefferson, Grand Junction, Scranton, Churdan, Rippey, Paton, Dana, and the rural areas in between. One stream covers the whole county.

Jefferson — the county seat, known for the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower — generates much of the county's public safety traffic. Because Greene County keeps its system unencrypted, every department you'll hear comes through in plain audio.

Greene County scanner FAQ

Is the Greene County scanner free?

Yes. Every NCISS stream is free — no ads, no pre-roll, no paywall. Open a stream and you're listening.

What's the difference between the three streams?

Public Safety is everything combined — law, fire, and EMS. Fire & EMS carries only fire/EMS. Law Enforcement carries only law. The Public Safety stream is the all-in-one option if you're not sure.

Which communities does it cover?

The Greene County Sheriff dispatches law, fire, and EMS countywide on the channels carried here — covering Jefferson, Grand Junction, Scranton, Churdan, Rippey, Paton, Dana, and the rural areas.

Are any Greene County channels encrypted?

No. Greene keeps its public safety system in the clear — law, fire, and EMS all unencrypted and carried here. That's increasingly uncommon, and it means residents can actually hear their own county's traffic.

Why does it sound different from an old scanner?

Greene County runs on the ISICS P25 Phase II trunked network, not conventional VHF. A standard analog scanner can't follow trunked talkgroups. NCISS decodes the P25 system directly and streams it in plain audio.

How current is the audio?

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.
