What REELZ says about filming and editorial control
REELZ’s FAQ, dated July 18, 2022, says the producers have exclusive creative control over program content. It also says participating departments may review footage and request edits when material could endanger citizens or officers or compromise operations, but the producers and network make the final decisions. Treat these as network-stated policies, not an independently verified guarantee about any particular episode.
The same FAQ says producers do not select the officers or calls featured; REELZ characterizes those choices as decisions made by participating departments. It describes the broadcast as live with a delay that can range from a few minutes to 20–30 minutes depending on circumstances. REELZ also says footage is generally retained for 30 days, with exceptions, and that footage requests must be made by valid subpoena.

Close Call RF capture technology instantly tunes to signals from nearby transmitters and the Do Not Disturb Mode prevents Close Call checks during a transmission.
- Please note model BC125AT is NOT a Digital Scanner (analog only scanner) and is not capable of Digital Radio system monitoring, (e.g. Project 25, DMR, NXDN). Some Police/Fire/Emergency/Public Safety Agencies in larger cities are switching over to DIGITAL Trunking systems. If you live in an area where Trunking or Digital Radio systems are used, you need to upgrade to a Uniden Digital model (“D” stands for Digital), such as models SDS150, SDS100, SDS200, BCD436HP, BCD536HP, BCD996P2, BCD325P2, or HomePatrol-2.
