Do police monitor FRS or GMRS?
There is no sure answer to this, but you can be sure they probably have the capability. Many police officers are technically very savvy when it comes to communication and radios. Their survival on the street depends to some extent on their understanding of their own radio system. Giving police frequency information could however be handy in the event a lost person has a radio. Search and rescue volunteers that carry scanners then have one more tool with which to find a lost person. It is conceivable such a signal could be heard from the air as well. Carry a list of the radio frequencies in the FRS radio you have. Share the frequency list with the police or rescue personnel. Give them the last known frequency used by the lost person, as well as your group’s agreed upon emergency calling frequency. (TIP: Cut out the frequency list on the main page and print your CTCSS code on it. Stick the list in your wallet or purse.) Update! A recent post 5/98 in the alt.radio.family newsgroup indicat
