Anyone know what 'flag' this app would see to know it's an 'emergency 
broadcast stream'

I know there is an audio alert used by various public safety systems but 
wonder if there is something more?

Juicy Development Releases First Interactive Police Scanner at MacWorld 2010

LENGTH: 508 words

DATELINE: SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- MacWorld 2010 -- iPhone developer 
Juicy Development releases the first interactive police scanner for the 
iPhone and iPod Touch this week at San Francisco's MacWorld 2010. The app, 
Police Scanner 2, allows users to alert others about emergency broadcast 
streams as they happen using text messages. The text messages appear on a 
small ticker in the app, allowing users to tune in to the stream being 
discussed.

"We found that there were a community of users that wanted to let each other 
know about exciting feeds being broadcast," said David Kyle, project 
manager. "And this feature allows everyone to share information as it 
happens."

Police Scanner 2 allows listeners to listen to police, fire, and EMS 
activities around the world. Unlike other emergency scanner applications, 
Police Scanner's adaptive technology allows updates to data streams to post 
"live" within a few hours of changes made. Because emergency data streams 
can change so quickly, Police Scanner is able to provide the updated 
information to its customers without waiting for slow version changes 
released in the iTunes store.

In addition to allowing users to share information, Police Scanner 2 allows 
users to record snippets of a stream and replay it later. The length of 
snippets recorded is limited only by the memory of the iPhone or other 
device.

With over 2300 national and international EMS streams, Police Scanner offers 
the largest selection of police, fire, and emergency services streams 
available for the iPhone in one application. Users can locate and listen to 
police dispatch frequencies worldwide. Police Scanner is the only iPhone 
emergency scanner application to provide streams from nine countries. New 
streams are added daily.

Police Scanner runs on wireless LANs, the 3G network, or on the Edge 
network, and is compatible with both 2.x and 3.0 devices.

Pricing and Availability: The cost of the application for the iPhone is 
$4.99 in Apple's app store.

Police Scanner 2 is a product of Juicy Development, which also produces the 
popular iPhone applications Talk Radio and FastTrac.

Based in Orem, Utah, Juicy Development LLC is a privately funded company 
founded in 2008 by Tod Hadley and Brent Anderson. The company focus is to 
develop applications for the Apple iPhone, Google Android, and other mobile 
markets. Taking inspiration from organizations such as Google, early Word
