Radio encryption in Westchester County
None of the five agency records for Westchester County have been verified against RadioReference system data, so everything here should be treated as provisional. As recorded, Westchester County Police, Scarsdale Township Police, Yorktown Township Police and Ossining Township Police encrypt all monitored channels with P25 AES-256, and the Yonkers Police Department does the same using P25 ADP. One system is listed for the county, Metro-25/MTA MRRS. All three catalogued talkgroups are encrypted and none remain in the clear, so nothing monitored in this dataset is currently receivable on a scanner. Given how thin and unverified the data is, check RadioReference directly for the county's current status before buying equipment.
