Will not work for London Police (no scanner or computer can decode them due to encryption) London Fire is P25 so would have to upgrade to a scanner that supports P25 digital trunking (aka APCO25)
OPP, MTO Enforcement, MNR are P25 aswell. Paramedics, and the jails are not digital but need a Trunk Tracking scanner to recive them
IF its just a plain jane nothing special no trunking (would say trunk tracker on the scanner someplace) then here is what you can listen to around middlesex/elgin
Middlesex County Fire Depts and Strathroy/Melbourne/Mt Brydges Fire
Cab companies in the city
JLC Security
All the mall security
Victoria/UH hospital security and maintenance
Kellogs
Airport
Ross Towing (City wide is on the motorola type2 trunked system)
Ham radio stuff
There are 5 corrections channels that are used for portable radio to portable radio chat. Always active from EMDC
5 EMS repeater channels (same thing you would hear on the trunked fleetnet system)
3 OPP repeater channels
1 MTO repeater channel
1 MNR repeater channel
2 Air EMS (the 2 helicopter units and the air planes use)
With the EMS/OPP/MNR/MTO repeaters you will only hear them when you are close to one of the EMS or police cars. The repeaters are short range to transmit the stuff from the radio in the car to their portables, and from the portables back to the car so they have short range. And wont ALWAYS hear them if they dont have their portable on and repeater activated
Stuff in Elgin County
Elgin/St Thomas Fire depts
St.Thomas Police and thats about it for there
Only thing to listen to in strathroy area is fire, police and public works are encrypted
Let me know what type of scanner you have and i can help you OR ANYONE for that matter set things up and make sure youv got the right gear for what you want to listen to
