Radio encryption in Warren County
Partial encryption applies across all three agencies recorded in Warren County, none of them fully closed. The Vicksburg Police Department and the Warren County Sheriff's Office encrypt tactical channels with P25 AES-256, and Vicksburg Fire Department encrypts specific channels; the sheriff's entry is unverified. All of it runs on the Mississippi Wireless Information Network (MSWIN), the state's shared system. Fourteen of 22 catalogued talkgroups are still in the clear against eight encrypted, so a scanner retains most of the county's monitored traffic, with tactical operations the part that has gone dark.
