Radio encryption in Adams/Arapahoe/Douglas County
Two very different operations share the Adams/Arapahoe/Douglas listing. The Aurora Police Department is verified as encrypting all of its traffic with P25 AES on the city's own Aurora system, which leaves nothing routine for a scanner anywhere in the city. The second record, Buckley Air Force Base, is unverified and marked as only partly encrypted with AES-256, a federal installation whose radio picture is a separate question from the municipal one and should not be read as evidence about either.
