Neighbors, if you want to listen to live Pinellas fire, dispatch, police then go here. When you fire click on you will get a short commercial. I usually open it, then reduce the window and keep it running in the background.
As a lifelong journalist, let me give you a few guidelines as you listen.
Dispatch traffic is not confirmed. It is people calling into 9-1-1 and responders responding. So don’t let every incident call raise your blood pressure.
Let’s not share this link with a bunch of people or it will slow down connections.
You can see a text version of the sheriff’s office dispatch here.
Do NOT SHARE what you hear on police scanners. It is like sharing a rumor. If you do share something, be sure to timestamp it.
Also, limit your intake of this stuff. No good news comes from 9-1-1 radio traffic so it can skew your attitude to thinking the world is constantly on fire.
You will notice that police use “10 codes” such as 10-4, which means I understand.
Here is a list of the most common 10-codes to help you understand what you are hearing.
