Union County Public Safety

What you're hearing

This feed covers public-safety radio traffic for Union County, Iowa, including Creston, Afton, Lorimor, Cromwell, and surrounding communities.

Most activity comes from the Union County dispatch center working with the sheriff's office, Creston police, fire departments, and ambulance crews. You may hear traffic stops, fire and EMS pages, routine calls for service, and coordination between responding agencies.

The feed also monitors selected dispatch traffic from Adair and Adams counties. Region 4 CALL41 and TAC42 through TAC46 are included so incidents remain available when agencies move operations from their regular dispatch channel to a regional interoperability channel.

Paging

Fire and ambulance pages may begin with alert tones followed by several seconds of silence before the dispatcher speaks. This is normal—the ISICS talkgroup remains keyed while the paging sequence is transmitted.

Compatible players display the active channel name and TGID. Encrypted channels, law tactical channels, schools, roads, public works, and utilities are excluded.

Quiet periods are normal for a rural feed and do not necessarily mean the feed is offline.
