Radio encryption in Ouachita County
Unusually for this data, Ouachita County's encryption is DMR Enhanced Privacy rather than P25. Both cataloged agencies, the Camden Police Department and the Ouachita County Sheriff's Office, are verified as encrypting all monitored channels. Their traffic is associated with the Arkansas Wireless Information Network (AWIN), where seven of nine cataloged county talkgroups remain clear and two are encrypted. That leaves most documented channels open, but neither of the county's two law enforcement agencies among them. The record covers only those two agencies, so fire and EMS communications in the county are not addressed here either way.
