- Major incidents such as large wildfires, floods, severe weather, missing children, and other incidents that are deemed a threat to public safety will ALWAYS remain free to view for everyone, even those without a subscription. Press releases will also remain free to view.
- Incidents like trespassing calls, shoplifts, indecent exposure, fights, suspicious activity, small fires, etc. These calls are what we classify as routine and non-major incidents. They are typically calls that do not pose an immediate threat to the public at large. With our new subscription plan, these incidents will only be viewable by those who are subscribers with a monthly or yearly plan. The monthly plan will only be $3.99 per month and the yearly plan will be $39.99 per year. Monthly and yearly subscribers will also get free access to all 4 of our live exclusive scanners that broadcast Flagstaff police, fire, forest service, ems, and Sheriff’s office. Our scanners also cover the Flagstaff surrounding agencies. Subscribers will also have access to our scanner recording archives.
Since 2008, our mission has been to provide you with timely updates and alerts free of charge. We wholeheartedly believe that an informed public is a safer public. Over the years we have had to turn to local advertisers, Google Ads, and Surveys in order to help offset the operational costs of running this service. Unfortunately, despite these measures, we still have to reach into our own pockets to cover the costs. We have developed a new pricing plan that we believe is a win-win for everyone while still keeping true to our mission. Major incidents such as wildfires, floods, severe weather, missing children, and other incidents that are deemed a threat to public safety will ALWAYS remain free to view for everyone, even those without a subscription. Press releases will also remain free to view.

The posting of routine incidents is what sets us apart from other media sources in Flagstaff. Many of you do not use Flagscanner for this and only come to see the great reporting we do on the big stuff… That will still be free to view without a subscription. It’s important that we make that abundantly clear.
If you were already a paid subscriber to our service, we have even better news for you! Instead of paying $5, $10, or $20 per month, you will now only have to pay $3.99. If you were on a yearly plan, congratulations… you will be granted a lifetime subscription and never have to pay us another cent.
This decision was a difficult, yet necessary one. This new model will also allow us to pay our reporters more and bring more on. We hope you enjoy the new website and consider becoming a subscriber.
