Radio encryption in Kiowa County
Kiowa's sheriff's office shares the State of Colorado DTRS with agencies across the state, but not their cipher: this record lists P25 ADP, the proprietary and comparatively weak option, applied to all of the agency's traffic. That distinction is useful in an argument with officials, because ADP is not what a department reaches for when it truly believes the content needs hardened protection, yet it is more than enough to shut out every scanner in Kiowa. The sheriff is the only verified agency on file for the county.
