What This Means

This agency encrypts tactical channels used for special operations, SWAT, and sensitive investigations. Regular dispatch may still be accessible.

Impact on Transparency

  • Journalists cannot monitor police activity for breaking news or investigative reporting
  • Community members cannot track police response to incidents in their neighborhood
  • Researchers cannot study police communication patterns and response times

Take Action

Fight encryption at DuPage County Police. Contact local officials to demand transparency.
