Radio encryption in Rio Blanco County
Both agencies tracked in Rio Blanco County are verified and both encrypt all monitored channels with P25 ADP: the Meeker Police Department and the Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office. There are no unverified records here. Even so, all nine catalogued talkgroups across the State of Colorado DTRS and a Williams Energy Services UHF system are currently in the clear, with none encrypted. That combination means a scanner will still receive documented system traffic in the county, while the two named law enforcement agencies are listed as closed on their own channels.
