We don't yet have per-talkgroup data for Bunnel Police Department from the RadioReference API. The encryption scope and type above come from the RadioReference Wiki, which is community-maintained rather than independently confirmed channel-by-channel.
If you monitor Bunnel Police Department directly or have more current information, the fastest way to fix this is to update the RadioReference Wiki entry — our data pulls from there and from the RadioReference API on a regular refresh cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bunnel Police Department radio encrypted?
Bunnel Police Department is listed in our records with P25 AES-256 encryption — a listing we haven't yet verified against live talkgroup data. This agency is listed as encrypting specific talkgroups or channels, with other communications possibly still audible. The listing is unverified — confirm at RadioReference.
Can I listen to Bunnel Police Department on a police scanner?
Possibly. Our database lists Bunnel Police Department as encrypting specific talkgroups rather than the whole system, which would leave some channels accessible. The listing is unverified — check RadioReference for specific talkgroup status.
Why do agencies like Bunnel Police Department encrypt their radio?
Officer safety and operational security are the reasons agencies give. What rarely comes with that explanation is Flagler County-specific evidence that open communications ever caused a problem, while the loss of public oversight and the friction with still-unencrypted neighboring agencies are both immediate and real.
Can Flagler County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes. Whoever made this call for Bunnel Police Department can also unmake it; there's no technical lock-in. The approach that has worked elsewhere combines public-records requests, direct council pressure, and a coordinated local coalition.
What can I do about Bunnel Police Department encryption?
Contact the officials who oversee Bunnel Police Department's budget directly and ask why full encryption was chosen over partial alternatives. Pair that with a FOIA request for recordings and policy records, and look for an existing coalition in Flagler County, or start one, since agencies respond differently to organized, sustained pressure than to individual complaints.
