About This Data
This database is compiled from the RadioReference Wiki, a community-maintained resource tracking encryption of public safety radio communications.
What's included: Agencies that encrypt their general dispatch and common public safety operations. This does not include agencies that only encrypt tactical or sensitive communications.
Encryption types: The most common is P25 AES-256, a military-grade encryption standard that makes it impossible for the public, journalists, and other first responders to monitor communications.
