Radio encryption in Lowndes County
Nothing monitored in Lowndes County remains in the clear. All eight talkgroups tracked on the Lowndes County Public Safety P25 system are encrypted, none receivable. Six agencies are listed and all six encrypt every channel with P25 ADP: the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office, the Lowndes County Emergency Management Authority, Valdosta Police, Valdosta Fire and Hahira's police and fire departments. Only the two Valdosta records are confirmed against RadioReference; the other four are unverified. On these figures a scanner would return no public safety audio from the county system, so anyone considering equipment for Lowndes should verify current talkgroup status directly rather than assume something is still open.
