Hi Matteo,
Aircraft and police operate on VHF and UHF frequencies, which are usually
only availalable on scanners or high end table top models. Some portables do
have aircraft and weather and even TV, but few carry police. Some high end
scanners do have a tremendous frequency range, so they would cover VLF to
UHF so that you could monitor Longwave, AM broadcast, Shortwave and weather,
TV and on up into police bands.
