Another vote for Waze!
I use it all the time. Not only does it let you know about police, but also red light cameras, construction, slow moving traffic (traffic jams), stopped cars, etc.
Jake: you use it like any GPS (it is a GPS). A quick glance will let you know what's happening in the general vicinity via small icons. Click on the icons for more details, though that's not usually necessary.

So basically I can just use it instead of Google maps. And once the route is set up it can be fully hands free. Can you set up audio cues? I have a lightening cord ran right into the rear input of my Becker that plays the phones audio, however due to the positioning and having no mount I can not easily see the screen of the phone while driving.

Yet another vote for Waze! I have a Nexus 7 installed in the dash. Always have Waze running. It's a life saver driving around Toronto!!
I also use Waze more than I use my radar detector. What makes Waze effective are the individual users who reports road conditions, traffic, police locations etc. it warns you if police or other road information are in a certain location and when it was last reported. If you're in that reported area you're able to confirm or update the information so other Waze users have the latest information. When you first turn on Waze it informs you hw many users are in the area. When I'm on long trips I'll use my radar detector and only use Waze when I feel like doing some spirited driving.
Downfall of Waze is it uses your data plan on your phone.

That, and the fact you can never depend it is 100% accurate all the time. When a good radar detector goes off, it is for a valid and current reason, even if it is just a door opener.
