Preface:  This feed is provided by a private volunteer and is not affiliated with any Bastrop County government agency.  It is provided to help inform the citizens of Bastrop County about public safety events in their community.  Please listen responsibly.  Do not interfere with first responders working an active scene.  Do not spread details related to personal information or fatalities heard on the scanner feed to social media.  Law enforcement tactical and secondary channels are not scanned (unless normal dispatch traffic is moved to such channels).  If needed, channels will be blacked out for officer safety.

Scanner:  Uniden SDS200 (alpha tags enabled)

  • TX DPS Troopers and Game Wardens / State Park Police (Parks & Wildlife) show up on the County Sheriff primary channel.  Troopers identify as 6B70x units; Game Wardens / Park Police identify as 47xx-49xx units.
  • References to "JP" are for the Justice of the Peace, which serves as the Coroner in Bastrop County.
  • When we hold on a specific talk group (such as for a fire or a car chase), we usually have a secondary scanner (Uniden SDS-100 handheld) monitoring all the other channels in the background for other incidents.
  • If local weather necessitates, we can manually switch in the NOAA Weather Service broadcast on 162.400Mhz to hear weather alerts for Bastrop County. (This should not satisfy or fulfill your need to have an active NOAA Weather Alert Radio in your home.)
  • We recommend using any one of the numerous scanner apps that show alpha tags allowing you to see which agency is currently transmitting.
