    Well the frequencies depend on where you live and where your local Fire and EMS and Police departments operate. For example, most of Virginia is switching over to Digital Trunking, so normal scanners won't work here, but depending on where you live, regular VHF/UHF scanners might still work. If you can tell me what state/city/county/town you live in, I could probably get you a list of frequencies to program into your scanner. But please don't give me your street address Ex: 5555 Somewhere Lane.

The following link may help you locate all of the things you are interested in listening to, and explains how to search for them. Once you have the frequency (the string of number, seperated by a dot), you have have to figure out how to "save" those frequencies into your particular brand of scanner. Some scanners allow you (once saved) to replace the numbers with a name, which is much friendlier, but also is specific to your brand of scanner (as to how to accomplish it). Here's the link;

What are the meanings of the police 10 codes?

You use to be able to go to Radio Shack and they would give you a sheet of the codes for free and their meanings. But i don't know if they still do it for free or not.
