2 public safety agencies in Stanislaus County, California have encrypted their radio communications.
Radio encryption in Stanislaus County
Two agencies appear in the Stanislaus County record, both on Stanislaus Regional 911 and both recorded as fully encrypted with P25 AES-256. Modesto Police is verified against system data; the Stanislaus County Sheriff record is unverified. Of ten monitored talkgroups, six are encrypted and four remain in the clear. That leaves some receivable traffic, but with the county's two named law enforcement agencies encrypting all channels, the clear talkgroups are not attributable to either from this data. Given the small sample and one unverified record, check RadioReference for the current Stanislaus Regional 911 talkgroup list before assuming any particular channel is receivable.
