Radio encryption in Adams/Jefferson County
The Adams/Jefferson listing covers two departments that do not even share a radio system: Arvada Police Department sits with one of the two networks on record here, the Metro Area Radio Cooperative and the Front Range Communications Consortium, and Westminster Police Department with the other. Both are verified as encrypting all traffic with P25 AES. Residents of either city have no clear channel to fall back on, and the split across separate systems means no single scanner configuration would cover both even if that changed.
