Verification Status
We don't yet have per-talkgroup data for Perry Township Schools from the RadioReference API. The encryption scope and type above come from the RadioReference Wiki, which is community-maintained rather than independently confirmed channel-by-channel. Our automated matching put this at moderate confidence (80%) based on how closely the wiki listing matches this agency's name and county.
If you monitor Perry Township Schools directly or have more current information, the fastest way to fix this is to update the RadioReference Wiki entry — our data pulls from there and from the RadioReference API on a regular refresh cycle.

Why do agencies like Perry Township Schools encrypt their radio?
Agencies cite officer safety and operational security. Those are assertions rather than findings — no local evidence is typically produced — while the effects are concrete and land straight away on anyone who relied on hearing Perry Township Schools to know what was happening nearby.
Can Marion County reverse the encryption decision?
Nothing technical prevents it. Perry Township Schools operates encrypted because someone decided it should, and decisions of that kind get revisited when councils hear sustained, organised pressure rather than isolated complaints.
What can I do about Perry Township Schools encryption?
Three things carry weight, in this order: a public-records request for Perry Township Schools's encryption policy and radio recordings, a turn at the microphone during Marion County budget discussions, and finding the other people locally already asking the same question. Individually these are easy to deflect; together they are not.
