Radio encryption in Monmouth County
Monmouth is the closed-door case in New Jersey: all twenty-six catalogued agencies — twenty-four municipal police departments plus two sheriff entries — run P25 AES-256 across all traffic, and every one of those records has been verified. Asbury Park, Eatontown, Hazlet, Keyport, Colts Neck and the rest sit on Monmouth County Public Safety and the New Jersey Interoperability Communications System (NJICS), where 34 of the 47 listed talkgroups are encrypted and only 13 remain clear. A resident with a scanner here hears the remainder, not the police.
