Ever get annoyed because you miss a pursuit? Yeah, me too!<\/p>\n
ChaseAlert has two Twitter accounts to keep you informed.<\/p>\n
@ChaseAlert<\/a><\/strong> @ChaseAlertsOnly\u00a0<\/a><\/strong> If you don’t like getting a lot of alerts, follow me on @ChaseAlert and set up alerts on @ChaseAlertsOnly. Do follow both though so you don’t miss any of the action or Bingo!<\/p>\n My main focus is chases, but I do cover other things occasionally. Come for the chases, stay because I’m awesome and you’d be missing out on what the New York Times<\/a> called “morbid curiosity.”<\/p>\n I get a lot of tweets asking for the live feed link or televised location. The short answer is, there isn’t always one. I am usually getting my information live from my scanner.<\/p>\n We all love to watch the pursuits live, however, pursuits don’t always get televised. There are so many variables — media agencies don’t have choppers up at all times, the media may have programming conflicts, there may be weather challenges. Do not doubt my awesomeness,\u00a0if I know there’s a live feed I will let you know. In the meantime, please check the live feeds from local news agencies (KCAL\/CBSLA<\/a>, NBCLA<\/a>, KTLA<\/a>, FOXLA<\/a>, etc). You can also listen to an online scanner app. My site of choice is Broadcastify<\/a>, just select the state and county and find the agency you want to hear (here’s the link for LA County<\/a>). Note that these feeds have a delay that can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.<\/p>\n I try to respond to every tweet and email so keep them coming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nThis account is where the main activity is, where my coverage will be and where I am likely to “blow up” your feed if I’m covering a pursuit. #SorryNotSorry You may not want to set up alerts for this account because you will get a lot during<\/em> a pursuit. Or, do so you don’t miss a moment!<\/p>\n
\nThis is my companion account. This account is not<\/em> monitored. Generally, I will tweet once or twice when a chase starts and again if there is known coverage. In full disclosure, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes things are unfolding too quickly, sometimes it ends too quickly, and sometimes I just plain forget. It happens. This serves as my blanket apology going forward.<\/p>\n
