Radio encryption in Jefferson County
Encryption covers the majority of catalogued traffic in Jefferson Parish: 53 of 73 talkgroups are encrypted, leaving 20 in the clear across the Jefferson Parish Government system and the Louisiana Wireless Information Network (LWIN). All 4 tracked agencies encrypt every monitored channel using P25 AES-256 — the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, Gretna Police, Kenner Police and the East Bank Levee District Police Department — and all 4 records are verified against RadioReference, so this is one of the more solid entries in the dataset. A scanner still receives some parish traffic, but none of the four listed law enforcement agencies.
