Sacramento County Police Scanner – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sacramento County police scanner?
The Sacramento County police scanner monitors the Sacramento Regional Radio Communications System (SRRCS), a trunked radio system shared by most public safety agencies in the Sacramento region including Sacramento Police Department, Sacramento County Sheriff, and fire departments. It allows you to hear real-time dispatch activity as it happens across the county.
What frequencies does the Sacramento County police scanner use?
Sacramento County law enforcement operates on a digital trunked radio system rather than simple fixed frequencies. Key conventional frequencies include Sacramento Police dispatch channels ranging from 460.050 to 460.475 MHz and Sacramento County Sheriff channels including 453.900 (North Patrol) and 453.575 (South Patrol). To monitor the full trunked system you need a digital scanner like the Uniden SDS100.
Is it legal to listen to a police scanner in California?
Yes. Listening to a police scanner is legal in California. You will not be arrested for owning and using one unless you violate California Penal Code §636.5, which makes it illegal to use scanner information to assist in the commission of a crime or to help someone avoid arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment.
What is the difference between Sacramento City police and Sacramento County Sheriff?
Sacramento Police Department (SPD) handles law enforcement within the city limits of Sacramento. The Sacramento County Sheriff handles unincorporated areas of the county and also contracts law enforcement services to smaller cities within the county. Both agencies are monitored on this page.

The most popular apps are Scanner Radio and Broadcastify, both available on iOS and Android. These stream live Sacramento County scanner traffic directly to your phone so you can monitor activity anywhere.
What do the police codes mean on the Sacramento scanner?
Sacramento law enforcement uses a combination of California Penal Code sections and 10-codes. For example, a 10-15 means a prisoner in custody, 10-851 is an auto theft, and 187 is a homicide. As a former SPD officer with over 10 years on the force, I break down exactly what these codes mean in each video so you always know what is really happening.

Lance Casey is a former Sacramento Police Department officer with over 10 years of field experience and a licensed California Private Investigator (CA PI License #27617). His law enforcement background means he understands dispatch codes, officer response procedures, and tactical context that a civilian scanner hobbyist simply would not know. Read his full bio here.
