Verification Status
We don't yet have per-talkgroup data for Cañon City Police Department from the RadioReference API. The encryption scope and type above come from the RadioReference Wiki, which is community-maintained rather than independently confirmed channel-by-channel. 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 Cañon City Police Department 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.
Fremont County Context
Cañon City Police Department isn't an outlier here: 12 of the 12 public-safety agencies we track in Fremont County are fully encrypted (100%), so most departments nearby have made the same move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cañon City Police Department radio encrypted?
Cañon City Police Department is listed in our records with P25 ADP encryption — a listing we haven't yet verified against live talkgroup data. This agency is listed in our database as encrypting all of its radio communications, including routine dispatch. The listing is unverified — confirm current status on the live RadioReference database.
Can I listen to Cañon City Police Department on a police scanner?
Likely not, if the listing is accurate: our database lists Cañon City Police Department as fully encrypted using P25 ADP, which no consumer scanner can decode. The listing is unverified — check the live RadioReference database for current status.
Why do agencies like Cañon City Police Department encrypt their radio?
Ask why, and the answer is usually officer safety, sometimes operational security. What is harder to obtain is any documented case in Fremont County where an open channel caused harm. The costs need no such documentation: reporting on police department response slows down, and mutual-aid coordination gets more awkward, immediately.
Can Fremont County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes, and some departments already have. Because encryption here is a choice rather than a technical necessity, the path back runs through the same people who chose it: budget hearings, records requests, and residents who keep asking in public.
What can I do about Cañon City Police Department encryption?
Ask for the paperwork first — the policy that authorised encryption for Cañon City Police Department, and the recordings themselves — because a specific request is harder to wave away than a general complaint. Then take what you learn to a council meeting, and bring others from Fremont County with you.
