You can only purchase scanners of police frequencies. Retail outlets that sell transmitters, don't sell to individuals, unless they're a part of the police agency...sorry.... emergency and police traffic only.

They used to apply area of the VHF band it somewhat is now utilized by skill of broadcast radio stations, beforehand the completed 88-108 decision replaced into finally unfolded for leisure use interior the early ninety's (the precise 3 hundred and sixty 5 days evades me on the time of writing!). This replaced into the clarification it took so long for BBC Radio one million to get their VHF-FM nationwide community on 97-ninety 9. even if, the police radios used VHF-AM not FM so even inspite of the actuality that they were on an similar frequency they were very damaged up and distorted inspite of if the signal replaced into reliable.

Yes, you can, and this will work in a true emergency, but they will still arrest you.
A better option would be to get a technician ham license. Hams frequently handle emergency traffic. Many even train regularly to be better at it.
Do a google search on ham radio, or amateur radio in your city. The test for technician is quite simple.

No. It would be illegal to transmit on a police frequency (the fines are quite heavy), but there is no law against receiving them. 911 is the best bet.
