Radio encryption in East Baton Rouge County
All three East Baton Rouge Parish records are verified against RadioReference. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office and the East Baton Rouge Police Department both encrypt every monitored channel with P25 AES-256, while Baker Police Department is only partially encrypted, so some of its traffic remains receivable. Everything cataloged runs on the Louisiana Wireless Information Network (LWIN), where 13 of 22 parish talkgroups are clear against six encrypted. For a scanner buyer that means the two principal law enforcement agencies are off the air, but more than half of the documented parish talkgroups can still be monitored — enough that a scanner retains some value here.
