Radio encryption in Walton County
Walton County is unusual for what it runs rather than how much of it: both agencies on record, the Walton County Sheriff's Office and Defuniak Police Department, encrypt everything using ProVoice DES on Florida's Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System, rather than the P25 encryption that dominates most of the country. Both entries are verified. For a listener, the format is academic and the result is not, because neither agency leaves a clear channel behind.
