I thought it was just the opposite, that it WAS on most radios prior to 
1946, but not later, as the police moved to other frequencies.  I have 
an old 1930s radio that goes up to 1700, and I remember having an old 
radio in the 1950s that did.  It had the number "170" in smaller type, 
with the word "police" under it.  But I never heard anything but static 
at that part of the band.
