    I was at an estate sale about 25 years ago and remember seeing an
    Hallicrafters radio with "Police" marked just above the broadcast
    band.  It was only $20, but being a poor high school kid, I let it
    go, to my regret now!
    I am sure that Kansas City police had moved to 155 MHz, because I
    listened on an AM/VHF Patrolman radio.  I seem to recall hearing
    that many police agencies actively sought reports, some even having
    their own QSL cards.
    Of course, you're right in your assumptions, but in a different way.
    People who collected frequency lists were considered "suspicious".
    Why on earth would anyone NEED a list of police radio frequencies?
    Kind of like folks do with guns now.  Well, I'm an AMERICAN for one
    thing.  Second, as a human being, I have an inherent right to
    monitor my duly-elected government to keep them honest.
    The only thing I've ever heard in that frequency range is LORAN
    and some hams, maybe a fishing boat or marker.
