1. Listen live

Monroe County radio traffic centers on Monroeville, the county seat and historic literary capital, extending outward to Frisco City, Excel, Beatrice, Uriah, Peterman, Megargel, Tunnel Springs, Vredenburgh, and surrounding rural Southwest Alabama communities. Listeners typically hear dispatch for law enforcement and fire, plus traffic incidents along US 84, State Route 21, State Route 41, State Route 47, and State Route 136.

A few realistic expectations:

• Some channels are encrypted: Tactical law enforcement operations, SWAT channels, and specialized police operations are encrypted and cannot be monitored on public scanners.
• Transmission delays: Online audio stream feeds process through hardware encoders and digital networks, introducing an audio delay of several seconds compared to real-time radio signals.
• Cross-border coverage: Monroe County shares borders with Wilcox, Butler, Conecuh, Escambia, Baldwin, Clarke, and Marengo counties.
