Can I listen to United States Marshalls Service - New Jersey on a police scanner?
No. United States Marshalls Service - New Jersey has fully encrypted their radio communications using P25 AES-256. No consumer scanner can decode encrypted transmissions.
Why did United States Marshalls Service - New Jersey encrypt their radio?
Departments typically point to officer safety and operational security.

Can Statewide County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes. Encryption is a policy choice made by department leadership or elected officials, not a technical requirement, so it can be reversed the same way. Public pressure, city council advocacy, and organized local coalitions have reversed encryption decisions elsewhere.
What can I do about United States Marshalls Service - New Jersey encryption?
