Questions

What's happening in New York right now?

This page lists the latest NYPD radio calls in New York City, newest first: what was reported, the street, the borough and the time, with the radio transcript. It refreshes on its own while you have it open.

Can you still listen to NYPD radio?

Many NYPD precinct channels are now encrypted, so a normal scanner no longer hears them. Gofy uses NYPD citywide dispatch audio that is still public, turns each call into text with AI and pins it on a map.

Why are police or helicopters in my neighborhood?

Check the latest calls for your borough below. If a call mentions your street or cross street, it will be on the Gofy map at that spot. Not every police response goes out over the public radio, so a quiet list does not always mean nothing is happening.

How fast do calls appear?

Usually within a few minutes of the radio call. Transcripts are made by AI from noisy radio, so street names and numbers can be wrong.

Is it free?

Yes. The calls, audio clips and map are free, with no account needed.
