Arapahoe County is the third most populous county in Colorado located immediately south of the City of Denver. There are 8 cities and 5 towns within Arapahoe County.

Public Safety

A large portion of public safety communications in Arapahoe County will be found on the APCO Project 25 State of Colorado Digital Trunked Radio System (DTRS).

Exceptions exist for areas that are part of the City of Aurora which operates on Aurora and special cases dealing with agencies on Denver Public Safety EDACS.

Although some conventional frequencies can be found in the database, many are rarely used on a normal basis.
