Radio encryption in St. Johns County
Both St. Johns County agencies in this dataset are verified and both encrypt everything monitored using P25 AES: the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office and St. Augustine Police. Four systems operate in the county — St. Johns County Public Safety, the Public Safety Interoperable Communications Network (PSIC), Florida FleetTalk, and a Reidy Rhodes and Taylor Communications DMR system. Of 20 catalogued talkgroups, 8 are encrypted and 12 remain in the clear. A scanner will therefore still pick up a majority of the monitored channels, but neither of the county's two named law enforcement agencies is among them.
