Unmonitored Content

This is not the product of Prince William County and is not monitored content. The information is generated automatically by A.I. so will have numerous errors. You should not rely on this as a source of official information and I am not responsible for the content.

What is this?

You know that police/fire scanner your dad had to listen to figure out what all those sirens were for? Well it's the 21st century and that scanner is now a computer which listens to all of those radio calls, converts them to text with A.I. and forwards them to the web so anyone can read them. This system covers Prince William County in Virginia, but OpenMhz might have an audio stream near you to listen to.

Ok, I've read the giant warning messages, how do I read the messages?

The ntfy sub-domain has a series of topics broken down by category or area (Fire Dispatch, Police Central District, etc). You can click on the link below and messages should stream in as they arrive. Again, this is A.I. text generation so it is usually comprehendible but if not it is likely the A.I. getting confused. This is a hobby project so, uptime may vary too.

• Fire Dispatch and Response
• Fire Events (other channels)
• Police Eastern District
• Police Central District
• Police Western District
• Police Other Assignments / Special Events
• Other Groups (Emergency Response, etc)
