JFK App Features Dallas Scanner Recordings From Assassination

A new application for Android and Apple devices allows users to listen to police scanner recordings from the day of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

The app was created by the University of Virginia Center for Politics as a companion to political science professor Larry J. Sabato’s book, “The Kennedy Half Century: The Presidency, Assassination and Lasting Legacy of JFK.”

The recording contains Dallas police communications from 9:44 a.m. to 3:57 p.m. on Nov. 22, 1963, and includes police response to the assassination, the shooting of a Dallas police officer and the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald.

The JFK Half Century App is available on iTunes and Google Play.
