Why do agencies like Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Police encrypt their radio?

Can Morris County reverse the encryption decision?
Nothing technical prevents it. Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Police operates encrypted because someone decided it should, and decisions of that kind get revisited when councils hear sustained, organised pressure rather than isolated complaints.
What can I do about Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Police encryption?
Three things carry weight, in this order: a public-records request for Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Police's encryption policy and radio recordings, a turn at the microphone during Morris County budget discussions, and finding the other people locally already asking the same question. Individually these are easy to deflect; together they are not.
