Radio encryption in Chatham County
Chatham's largest listing, Savannah-Chatham Metro Police, appears on the Southeast Georgia Regional Radio Network with AES-256 applied to only part of its traffic, and that entry is unverified, so how much of Savannah's dispatch a scanner can still hear is an open question rather than a settled one. The other record here, in Statesboro, is verified and encrypts everything. For a reporter covering Savannah, the partial designation is the thing to test on air before treating the county as closed.
