Radio encryption in Muscogee County
Columbus agencies dominate the Muscogee County list, and all five records encrypt every monitored channel with P25 AES-256. The City of Columbus Police Department and City of Columbus Fire & EMS are verified against RadioReference system data; the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, the Muscogee County Marshall and Columbus Technical College Police are not. Two systems are catalogued locally, Fort Benning and Muscogee County Government, and only five talkgroups are recorded across them, four encrypted and one in the clear. The talkgroup catalogue is thin enough that it should be treated as a floor rather than a complete account of radio traffic in the county.
