Radio encryption in Vermillion County
Every law enforcement agency on file in Vermillion Parish rides the Louisiana Wireless Information Network, and all three carry some form of P25 encryption. Abbeville Police Department is the one agency here confirmed as encrypting across the board; Kaplan Police Department and the Vermillion Parish Sheriff's Office are logged as scrambling only selected channels, which can leave parts of their traffic audible. Only the Abbeville record has been verified, so anyone with a P25 scanner should check the other two against RadioReference rather than assume the parish is entirely dark.
