New York Live Police Scanner
NYPD and FDNY activity across New York City.
New York Live Police Scanner covers NYPD and FDNY activity across the five boroughs, with case outcomes drawn from the New York City court system. It is the largest coverage area in the network by population.
NYPD covers five boroughs through precincts, and a report that says only 'New York' is useless to a reader. Coverage here is posted by borough and neighborhood — Bed-Stuy, the South Bronx, Astoria, Midtown — so people can tell immediately whether something is near them.
FDNY runs the largest fire department in the United States and one of the busiest EMS operations anywhere. Multiple-alarm fires, building collapses, subway incidents and major rescues all feature regularly in coverage.
Traffic and transit coverage spans the bridges and tunnels, the BQE, the FDR, the Cross Bronx and the subway system, where a single incident can strand a very large number of people. New York court records supply charging and case-outcome information.
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.
