Radio encryption in Cass County
Cass County's five logged agencies — the Cass County Sheriff's Office plus the Belton, Harrisonville, Pleasant Hill and Raymore police departments — are all recorded as fully encrypted using P25 AES across the Metropolitan Area Regional Radio System (MARRS) and the Missouri Statewide Wireless Interoperable Network (MOSWIN). Only the sheriff's office record has been verified; the four municipal police records are unverified against system data. The talkgroup counts are more open than the agency list suggests: 27 of 38 monitored talkgroups are still in the clear against 11 encrypted. A scanner covering MARRS and MOSWIN will therefore still receive a majority of monitored traffic in the county, though not the municipal police dispatch channels named above.
