Our automated matching put this at moderate confidence (70%) based on how closely the wiki listing matches this agency's name and county.
If you monitor Calhoun County Coroner directly or have more current information, the fastest way to fix this is to update the RadioReference Wiki entry — our data pulls from there and from the RadioReference API on a regular refresh cycle.

Why do agencies like Calhoun County Coroner encrypt their radio?
Departments typically point to officer safety and operational security. Neither claim tends to come with evidence specific to Calhoun County; what's verifiable is what's lost — journalists can't monitor sheriff's office activity in real time, and coordination with agencies that stay unencrypted gets harder.
Can Calhoun County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes. Whoever made this call for Calhoun County Coroner can also unmake it; there's no technical lock-in. The approach that has worked elsewhere combines public-records requests, direct council pressure, and a coordinated local coalition.
What can I do about Calhoun County Coroner encryption?
Start local: show up when Calhoun County officials discuss the budget for Calhoun County Coroner, and ask specifically why full encryption was chosen over a delayed feed or tactical-only approach. File a FOIA request for recordings or policy documents, and connect with others nearby who want the same information — a coordinated ask carries more weight than an individual one.
