What This Means

This agency encrypts their dispatch channel, preventing the public from hearing calls for service, officer locations, and incident details.

Impact on Transparency

  • Journalists cannot monitor police activity for breaking news or investigative reporting
  • Community members cannot track police response to incidents in their neighborhood
