Frequently Asked Questions
Is Governor's Office of Information Technology radio encrypted?
Governor's Office of Information Technology is listed in our records with P25 AES-256 encryption — a listing we haven't yet verified against live talkgroup data. This agency is listed as encrypting specific talkgroups or channels, with other communications possibly still audible. The listing is unverified — confirm at RadioReference.
Can I listen to Governor's Office of Information Technology on a police scanner?
Possibly. Our database lists Governor's Office of Information Technology as encrypting specific talkgroups rather than the whole system, which would leave some channels accessible. The listing is unverified — check RadioReference for specific talkgroup status.
Why do agencies like Governor's Office of Information Technology 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 Statewide County where an open channel caused harm. The costs need no such documentation: reporting on other agency response slows down, and mutual-aid coordination gets more awkward, immediately.
Can Statewide County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes. Encryption is a policy choice made by department leadership or elected officials, not a technical requirement, so it can be reversed the same way. Public pressure, city council advocacy, and organized local coalitions have reversed encryption decisions elsewhere.
What can I do about Governor's Office of Information Technology encryption?
Start local: show up when Statewide County officials discuss the budget for Governor's Office of Information Technology, and ask specifically why full encryption was chosen over a delayed feed or tactical-only approach. File a FOIA request for recordings or policy documents, and connect with others nearby who want the same information — a coordinated ask carries more weight than an individual one.
