Radio encryption in Desoto County
Every one of the 11 agencies tracked in Desoto County encrypts all monitored channels using P25 AES-256, and unusually the list is dominated by fire departments: Eudora, Fairhaven, Lewisville, Love, Nesbitt, Olive Branch, Southhaven and Walls. Olive Branch, Southhaven and Walls police departments are on the same footing. Three of the 11 records are unverified. All of this rides on the Mississippi Wireless Information Network (MSWIN), the only trunked system tracked here. Nine of 35 monitored talkgroups are still receivable in the clear against 26 encrypted, so a scanner has something to listen to but very little of it will be primary fire or police dispatch.
