Minneapolis St Paul Scanner
Twin Cities coverage — reported, not scanner-based.
Minneapolis St Paul Scanner covers Minneapolis Police Department and Minneapolis Fire Department activity along with Hennepin County court outcomes. Minneapolis Police encrypted their radio traffic, so there is no public audio for this market. Coverage here is built from agency releases, court records and verified reporting rather than live radio.
The Twin Cities market covers Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the surrounding suburbs, with Hennepin County on the Minneapolis side and Ramsey County on the Saint Paul side. Coverage names the specific city and neighborhood rather than treating the metro as one place.
Because the radio traffic in this market is encrypted, coverage here is built entirely from the public record — agency press releases, incident reports, court filings and reporting from named local outlets. That makes this page slower than a scanner-driven one and more reliable, since nothing runs until it exists somewhere on the record.
Traffic coverage follows I-94, I-35W and I-35E, and the Minneapolis Fire Department and Hennepin County EMS handle the fire and medical response. Hennepin County court records provide charging decisions and case outcomes.
Coverage is published on Facebook, where the page posts throughout the day as incidents develop. Every post is checked against an official source before it goes up — an agency release, a court record, or confirmed reporting from a named outlet. When a detail cannot be verified, it does not run.

What gets published
Active incidents as they develop, major crashes and road closures, missing-person alerts from official clearinghouses, fire and EMS responses, arrests and charging decisions, and court outcomes once they are on the record. Follow-ups matter as much as the original post — when a case resolves differently than it first appeared, that correction runs too.
What does not get published: unverified scanner chatter, names of people who have not been charged, addresses of private individuals, or anything that would interfere with an active response.
