And don't search too large of a range. Seriously, 1MHz at a time. For example, 167-168MHz. The transmissions are few & far between. If you look at too wide an area, you'll definitely miss everything.

Ray as has been suggested on multiple lists and forums, you will need to search the federal bands for activities if you are not finding them in the Radio Reference database.

You might be able to get some leads from the CARMA (Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association) Fakebook page: 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/172171279506754/ 
It was a pretty active group that actually held live meetings regularly, until encryption killed off a big chunk of public safety monitoring in the northwest suburbs. They still have meetings, but much less regularly. Getting with someone at a meeting is probably your best bet. 
"Fed talk" has kind of dwindled these days. The internet has proven to be a dual-edged sword for the monitoring community. 
Bill is right though. Your best bet is search, search, search! Be warned: It's a long, slow process.
