Frequently Asked Questions
Is Raymore Police Department radio encrypted?
Yes. Raymore Police Department uses P25 AES encryption. All traffic, including the day-to-day dispatch that used to be the public's window into police activity, now runs encrypted. Nothing from this department is receivable.
Can I listen to Raymore Police Department on a police scanner?
No. Raymore Police Department has fully encrypted their radio communications using P25 AES. No consumer scanner can decode encrypted transmissions.
Why did Raymore Police Department encrypt their radio?
The standard justification nationwide is officer safety and operational security, regardless of whether a documented local incident ever required it. The tradeoff that follows is consistent too: public oversight drops, and reporters lose the ability to track police department response as it happens.
Can Cass County reverse the encryption decision?
It can. The radios support open and encrypted operation equally well, so this is a configuration and a policy, not a constraint — and policies set by Cass County officials are policies those officials can revisit when constituents press for it.
What can I do about Raymore Police Department encryption?
Three things carry weight, in this order: a public-records request for Raymore Police Department's encryption policy and radio recordings, a turn at the microphone during Cass County budget discussions, and finding the other people locally already asking the same question. Individually these are easy to deflect; together they are not.
