Radio encryption in Bonneville County
Idaho Falls Police Department is verified as encrypting all monitored channels in Bonneville County with P25 AES-256, and an unverified Bonneville County Sheriff's Office record lists the same. Two related networks serve the area: the Eastern Idaho Cooperative Agencies Wireless Interoperable Network (EICAWIN) and the statewide ICAWIN. The catalogue is small, seven talkgroups with three encrypted and four in the clear. With both of the county's law enforcement agencies listed as fully encrypted and only four clear talkgroups on record, a scanner has limited value for following police activity here, though the sheriff's status is worth confirming against RadioReference given the unverified record.
