2 public safety agencies in Vanderburgh County, Indiana have encrypted their radio communications.
Radio encryption in Vanderburgh County
Vanderburgh County is a partial-encryption case, and both of its records are verified. The Evansville Police Department and the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office each encrypt tactical channels only, using P25 AES-256, with neither agency recorded as fully encrypted. Traffic runs on the Vanderburgh County Public Safety P25 system and Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T. The talkgroup counts back that up: just 2 of 30 monitored talkgroups are encrypted, with 27 in the clear. This is one of the more scanner-viable counties in the dataset — routine traffic largely remains receivable, with encryption reserved for tactical use rather than applied across dispatch.
