Radio encryption in New Haven County
Encryption in New Haven County is limited in the current data — only 2 of 27 monitored talkgroups are encrypted, with 25 in the clear across the OneVoice Network, the Connecticut Land Mobile Radio Network (CLMRN) and a Waterbury system. All four logged agencies are police. Orange Police is verified as fully encrypted with P25 ADP and Waterbury Police is verified as encrypting specific channels with P25 AES-256. The Meriden Police (P25 AES-256) and Milford Police (P25 ADP) records are both unverified, so half the agency list here is unconfirmed. On the talkgroup numbers, a scanner remains genuinely useful in this county, though the specific channels in the clear are not identified in this record.
