I kinda get it, but at the same time I think it should be our right to monitor police. I'm not sure how to reconcile the personal info part though.

Agreed. But I think the right to monitor the police doesn't have to mean real-time access to police radio. The radio could be recorded, like body cam footage, and released on demand with FOIA. FOIA allows redactions when needed, so sensitive information like victims names and addresses could be redacted.
