Radio encryption in Tipton County
Tipton County shows an odd inversion. The Tipton County Highway Department is verified as encrypting all of its traffic with P25 DES-OFB on Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T, while the Tipton County Sheriff's Office is logged as encrypting only tactical channels, and that sheriff's entry has not been verified. If the record holds, routine sheriff traffic in Tipton may still be reachable on a scanner while the road department's is not, which is the sort of ordering worth raising at a county commission meeting.
