Radio encryption in Lapeer County
Only three agencies are tracked in Lapeer County, and all three encrypt every monitored channel with P25 ADP: Lapeer County EMS, Lapeer County Fire and the Lapeer County Sheriff, the last of which is the one unverified record. All operate on Michigan's Public Safety Communications System (MPSCS), and that system remains overwhelmingly open at the talkgroup level, with 371 of 397 monitored talkgroups in the clear and only 21 encrypted. A scanner is still worth having here for wider system traffic, but the county's own sheriff, fire and EMS communications are documented as closed.
