Can Police Monitor Phone Calls
Between 2014 and 2017, the sheriff, Cory Hutcheson, used the service at least 11 times, prosecutors said. His alleged targets included a judge and members of the State Highway Patrol. Mr. Hutcheson, who was dismissed last year in an unrelated matter, has pleaded not guilty in the surveillance cases.

Monitoring without a warrant (Title III order) could be done with a cell site simulator, but, if you get caught, you’ll be doing Federal and/or state prison time, regardless of who you are. Years ago, two agents, one state and one Federal, assigned to a joint task force in Las Vegas, were caught listening to calls by plugging headphones into a pen register (a device for recording dialed digits on an analog telephone line.) They were both convicted in Federal court and sentenced to five years.
Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, wrote in a letter this week to the Federal Communications Commission that Securus confirmed that it did not “conduct any review of surveillance requests.” The senator said relying on customers to provide documentation was inadequate. “Wireless carriers have an obligation to take affirmative steps to verify law enforcement requests,” he wrote, adding that Securus did not follow those procedures.

However if you just mean could the phone carrier listen and abuse their ability to access your calls? Unrelated to policing, about a decade ago I learned that an ex of my girlfriend at the time worked for the phone company. Apparently he was a jealous or curious guy and would often listen in to her calls to see who she was talking to or dating. I don't know what kind of quality control exists at the phone companies now to prevent anything like from happening in this day and age though.
Between 2004 and 2009 Datong won over $1.6 (£1.03m) in contracts with US government agencies, including the Secret Service, Special Operations Command and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In February 2010 the company won a £750,000 order to supply tracking and location technology to the US defence sector. Official records also show Datong entered into contracts worth more than £500,000 with the Ministry of Defence in 2009.
In other words, your phone records and older text messages are relatively easy for police to obtain without a search warrant. But for phone calls and text messages sent within the last six months, investigators will need a judge’s signature.
Officers are able to request a “tower dump” through which every phone number in a certain range is revealed, and sometimes, where there are two towers in close proximity to each other, officers could possibly get information from more than a thousand phone owners.
The service can find the whereabouts of almost any cellphone in the country within seconds. It does this by going through a system typically used by marketers and other companies to get location data from major cellphone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, documents show.
“Securus is neither a judge nor a district attorney, and the responsibility of ensuring the legal adequacy of supporting documentation lies with our law enforcement customers and their counsel,” the spokesman said in a statement. Securus offers services only to law enforcement and corrections facilities, and not all officials at a given location have access to the system, the spokesman said.
