Radio encryption in Genesee County
Genesee County Law Enforcement is verified as encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256, and Genesee County Emergency Management is listed as encrypting specific channels, though that second record is unverified. Both operate on the Genesee/Orleans Counties system, where both cataloged talkgroups are encrypted, leaving nothing on that system documented in the clear. This is a two-agency, two-talkgroup record, so it is a narrow window rather than a full picture of county radio use. For county law enforcement dispatch specifically, the confirmed answer is that a scanner will not receive it.
