With the rise of corporate censorship I don't think its wise to rely on app stores for access to police frequencies. Dedicated radios that monitor police frequencies are widely available and you don't need an amateur license to use one (since you're only listening, not transmitting).

My city is on 700MHz P25 which requires a fairly pricey radio, but its been worth every penny over the past week. After listening in last Saturday we cancelled a trip to visit family after hearing about a riot on the local highway.

Make sure to look up the frequency your town uses first before dropping so much coin on a radio. If your local LE is encrypted, you're out of luck. But many aren't.

Any specific models/manufacturers you can suggest?

Get a Hack RF or other SDR and then just run Unitrunker on a computer.

Don't you need at least 2 to track trunked systems?

It is helpful, but not necessary. I am listening in on Seattle's trunked radio system with just one, and I get most of the comms.
