BC-Scanner · Brazoria County, Texas

Seven Years. Still Rolling.

BC-Scanner is an independent, community-funded accountability journalism operation covering Brazoria County, Texas: one journalist, one scanner, on the ground since 2017.

The mission

BC-Scanner documents public-safety incidents and local government accountability stories from the field. Original camera coverage is on-the-ground reporting; scanner call summaries are AI-assisted summaries of public radio traffic and are labelled accordingly.

Community-supported and independent

Coverage is free for everyone. Optional tips and memberships help fund equipment, connectivity, and the scanner operation. BC-Scanner is not affiliated with any public-safety agency.
