Radio encryption in Otero County
La Junta Police and La Junta Fire are the two agencies tracked in Otero County, both verified against RadioReference system data and both encrypting all monitored channels with P25 ADP. They run on the State of Colorado DTRS, which carries by far the largest talkgroup catalogue attached to this county: 341 talkgroups, of which 76 are encrypted and 263 remain in the clear. A scanner therefore still receives a large volume of DTRS traffic in and around the county, but none of it from the two La Junta departments, which encrypt everything monitored.
