Police radio is a radio system used by police and other law enforcement agencies to communicate with one another. Police radio systems almost always use two-way radio systems to allow for communications between police officers and dispatchers.

Most modern police radio systems are encrypted, and many jurisdictions have made listening to police radio frequencies as a private citizen illegal.
