Radio encryption in Grant County
Grant County traffic splits across the Grant County Government system and Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T. Six of seven logged agencies are recorded as fully encrypted on P25 AES-256, including Indiana Wesleyan University Police, Marion Fire Department, Marion Health Police and the Grant County Health Department; the Marion Police Department is the exception, recorded as partially encrypted using P25 DES-OFB. Two records — the Grant County Sheriff's Office and the Grant County Highway Department — are unverified. Even with that encryption footprint, most monitored traffic is still receivable: 49 of 71 talkgroups are logged clear against 22 encrypted. A scanner covering both county systems will still pull in a substantial amount of activity, though the primary law enforcement dispatch channels are among the encrypted ones.
