I'd start here. http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?stid=26, Find your county and what frequencies are used. Problem is most state/counties are going to digital trunking. A digital scanner is much more expensive, $400+. Also most agencies, if they are digital, scramble most conversations. I've had a scanner for years. My county only scrambles SWAT or stake out traffic. Now that most police cars have laptops you don't hear much excitement. They'll call in the initial stop info, and after that most info.comes via their laptop. The newest scanner are amazing. Just punch in the zip code of wherever you happen to be, and it will automatically pickup the traffic in that area. You can even plug them into a GPS, and will automatically keep tuned to where you're at.....
