Had an old uniden bearcat years ago that would pick up just about anything; fire, police, rescue, air traffic, even wireless home phones (the analog days before they started encrypting everything)
some of us on fire depts. had "modded" radios that could decrypt and transmit on law enforcement band (led to all kinds of shenanigans until they started requiring identifiers on two ways)
of course, you could do the same with CB radios amplified beyond the 4 watt legal limit. Buddy of mine had a 500 watt linear that could key over local radio station if he was parked near the tower
