AV Scanner News

AV Scanner News is the go-to place for what is happening around the Antelope Valley — crime, traffic, fires, and missing-person reports, all in one feed. New reports show up automatically and get sorted into the right category on their own, with no manual posting. There is a website and a matching mobile app — on both iPhone and Android — that pushes an alert the moment something breaks, plus a searchable list of 200+ police and fire radio codes and a way for residents to send in tips. More than 1,300 incidents tracked so far, and growing.

From a Messy Facebook Feed to a Real News Source

The challenge was turning a messy Facebook feed — no consistent format, no categories — into something residents could actually rely on. Now new posts flow in on their own, get sorted into the right category without anyone reading them first, and become searchable across the full history. The website replaces "scroll Facebook and hope you catch it" with "go here, filter to what you care about, and get on with your day." The mobile app takes it further: it lives on the home screen and pushes an alert the instant something breaks, so people hear about what is happening near them without even opening it. And almost everything that used to be done by hand — reposting, tagging, archiving — now runs by itself.
