Radio encryption in Jefferson County
Both Jefferson County agencies on record, Arnold Police and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, are listed as fully encrypted with P25 ADP on the St. Louis Area Trunked Emergency Radio system. Only the Arnold entry has been verified; the sheriff's has not, and since that is the county-wide agency it is the record most worth checking against a live feed. ADP is the entry-level tier of P25 encryption, which makes a county-wide blackout built on it look less like a security necessity than a default that nobody questioned.
