Verification Status
We do have per-talkgroup data for Trans Care, Inc EMS from the RadioReference API, and used it to set the encryption scope shown above — but no additional human-reviewed source (a live feed check or a dated news account) has been recorded for this record, so treat it as a data-quality correction rather than an independently confirmed verification. Check the live RadioReference database directly for current status.
If you monitor Trans Care, Inc EMS 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 Trans Care, Inc EMS encrypt their radio?
The standard justification nationwide is officer safety and operational security, regardless of whether a documented local incident ever required it. The tradeoff that follows is consistent too: public oversight drops, and reporters lose the ability to track emergency medical services response as it happens.
Can Vigo County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes — nothing about the underlying radio technology forces this. It's a decision Vigo County officials made and can revisit, and other communities have pushed departments back toward open channels through sustained council pressure and coalition-building.

Put the question to whoever signs off on Trans Care, Inc EMS's radio budget: why full encryption rather than a delayed feed or tactical-only channels?
