Radio encryption in St. James County
St. James Parish carries far more monitored traffic than most single-agency records in this dataset. Three systems appear — the Ascension / St. James / St. John The Baptist Regional Public Safety system, LWIN (the Louisiana Wireless Information Network) and an Entergy system — and of 131 monitored talkgroups, 94 are logged in the clear against 34 encrypted. The one logged agency, the St. James Parish Sheriff's Office, is verified as fully encrypted with P25 AES-256. So while the sheriff's own channels are not receivable, a scanner covering the regional system and LWIN will still pick up a large majority of monitored traffic in the parish.
