Radio encryption in Madison County
No agency in Madison County is recorded as fully encrypted. Anderson Police Department and the Madison County Sheriff's Office each encrypt part of their traffic with P25 AES-256, and Madison County Fire/EMS encrypts specific channels; the sheriff's record is the one unverified entry of the three. Systems in the county include Indiana's Project Hoosier SAFE-T, the Metropolitan Emergency Services Agency (MESA) network and ERS-OCI Wireless TRBOconnect Con+. The talkgroup numbers reinforce the picture: of 230 catalogued talkgroups, just six are encrypted and 211 remain in the clear. A scanner will still receive the large majority of monitored traffic in the county.
