Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't these encryption types have their own pages?
Each of the 2 types below is used by fewer than 5 agencies nationwide. Below that threshold a standalone page would be almost entirely boilerplate with only a handful of real rows, so they're grouped here instead — nothing about the underlying data changes, only how it's presented.
Which encryption types are grouped on this page?
DMR Basic Privacy (3 agencies), NEXEDGE (3 agencies).
Will a type move off this page?
Yes — if newly discovered or newly encrypted agencies push a type's count to 5 or more, it gets its own URL at the next data update and a redirect is not needed because the type was never linked from here with its own path.
