Morris County Police and the Morris County Prosecutor are listed as encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256, Morris County EMS encrypts specific channels with the same, and Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Police uses P25 ADP on specific channels. Two of the four records are unverified against RadioReference. The talkgroup count is the striking figure: of 74 catalogued, just three are encrypted and 71 remain in the clear, leaving most monitored traffic in the county receivable on a scanner.
