Database Verification Status
We verify agency encryption data against RadioReference, the industry-standard database for public safety radio systems. Here's our current coverage and accuracy.
Verification Progress
Data Sources
Match Confidence Distribution
When matching agencies to RadioReference data, we assign a confidence score based on name matching accuracy and geographic validation.
Verification by State
Our Verification Process
County Enrichment
We query RadioReference for all trunked radio systems in each county, fetching talkgroup data including encryption status.
Agency Matching
Using fuzzy name matching and geographic validation, we link our agency database to RadioReference talkgroup categories.
Encryption Analysis
For each matched agency, we analyze talkgroup encryption flags (0=clear, 1=mixed, 2=encrypted) to confirm encryption status.
Discovery
We also discover new encrypted agencies not in our original database by analyzing RadioReference categories marked as encrypted.
