Wright County, monitored daily

NCISS 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.

Wright 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.

Free, with no catch

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

One feed, the whole county

Law, fire, and EMS for Wright County in a single stream — the complete picture in one place.

Honest about coverage

Wright County Law 2 and Jail are encrypted, and Roads is monitored but not streamed — we tell you what's live and what isn't, not just what's convenient.

Local, not national

Operated by a licensed Iowa ham radio operator who actively monitors and maintains this system.

What does the Public Safety stream include?

Are any Wright County channels encrypted?

Yes. Wright County Law 2 and Wright County Jail are encrypted and cannot be decoded. Everything else listed here is unencrypted. Wright County Roads is monitored but not currently streamed publicly.

Why does it sound different from an old scanner?

Wright 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?
