The Richmond Police Department and Richmond Public Schools (RPS) held a joint press conference Wednesday afternoon following an altercation that broke out during John Marshall High School's graduation ceremony at the Siegel Center.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara chose to resign rather than face disciplinary action for interfering with an investigation into his conduct, Mayor Jacob Frey announced.
Signal RVA is a public Richmond metro live police, fire, traffic, and emergency incident map that turns active calls and public signal into clear public updates. It is built for residents who want fast context without raw private feeds or operator mechanics.
The best police scanner depends on the radio system in your city or county. For many metro areas, shoppers should research scanners that support the local trunked system, P25 digital voice, simulcast performance, and any fire or EMS channels they care about. Encrypted channels cannot be decoded by a consumer scanner, so check a radio database and local agency policy before buying hardware.
The public can often listen to lawfully available, unencrypted public-safety radio traffic or official/public feeds. Access varies by agency, state, feed host, and radio system. Signal RVA uses public summaries and official listen links or embeds only when they are allowed, and it does not publish private playback URLs, captured cookies, or restricted streams.
You can listen to some police, fire, EMS, rail, and aviation feeds on a phone through official agency pages, public feed directories, or scanner apps. Availability is uneven. Feeds may be delayed, offline, removed, or limited, and encrypted traffic will not be available through an app. Signal RVA is designed to provide Richmond context even when audio is unavailable.
In the United States, listening to lawfully available unencrypted radio is generally different from misusing a scanner, using it while committing a crime, intercepting restricted communications, or rebroadcasting restricted audio. State laws vary. In Virginia, for example, the law specifically addresses possession or use of a police-radio receiving device while committing certain crimes. This is not legal advice, check current law and local rules before relying on a scanner.
To find police activity near your neighborhood, start with official active-call pages, city or county police alerts, fire and EMS public incident pages, local news, traffic cameras, and agency social channels. In Richmond, Signal RVA combines public active-call context, map precision labels, source counts, nearby cameras, and update times so residents can see what is happening without needing raw scanner traffic.
Raw 911 call audio is usually not a live public search product. Some jurisdictions publish call-for-service summaries, incident logs, active calls, or public records, and some 911 audio may be available later through a lawful records request with redactions. Signal RVA focuses on public summaries and does not publish private tactical notes, personal details, or restricted audio.
Richmond's crime rate should be read from official annual or weekly crime-stat sources, not from a live incident map alone. The FBI Crime Data Explorer is useful for standardized annual comparisons, while Richmond Police publish local crime-stat and incident information for more current city context. Signal RVA shows live public-safety activity, which is not the same thing as an official crime-rate report.
