Radio encryption in Boone County
Boone County's Sheriff's Office is the single verified agency on file here, riding STARCOM21, the statewide Illinois system, with P25 AES-256 across all of its traffic. Sharing a state backbone does not mean sharing a state encryption policy: the choice to key up is made agency by agency, which is why Boone's sheriff can be sealed while other STARCOM21 users are not. Nothing in this record is listed as partially encrypted, so no clear sheriff's dispatch channel is documented for the county.
