"The police arrived on the scene of the crime. They arrived upon the scene of a frightening accident. What did they do when they arrived at the scene?" (an example from an online free idiom dictionary)

I am confused of their usages, are they (arrive on the scene / arrive at the scene) meaning the same thing?

Thank you very much!
