Boston Protest Scanner Resources

An aggregate of Boston area scanner feeds that can be used to listen to police operations during protests in Boston.

To save myself some time I'm going to aggregate some of the Boston area scanner feeds that can be used to listen to police operations during protests in Boston.  All of the Broadcastify feeds can be listened to on mobile using one of the many available scanner apps or the official Broadcastify app.

Full disclosure: I run two of these feeds and will note which ones.

Boston Area Special Event / Working Incident on Broadcastify (run by me)
This is the feed that I run and covers a variety of channels for use using wide area events. This replaces my Icecast feed as that was not mobile friendly and while missing a few channels it is much more mobile friendly. This is not up 100% of the time.
