Verification Status
We do have per-talkgroup data for Roseville Police from the RadioReference API, and used it to set the encryption scope shown above — but no additional human-reviewed source (a live feed check or a dated news account) has been recorded for this record, so treat it as a data-quality correction rather than an independently confirmed verification. Check the live RadioReference database directly for current status.
If you monitor Roseville Police directly or have more current information, the fastest way to fix this is to update the RadioReference Wiki entry — our data pulls from there and from the RadioReference API on a regular refresh cycle.
Wake County Context
Wake County is a mixed picture: 3 of 11 agencies we track here are fully encrypted (27%), which means some neighboring departments are still audible on a scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Roseville Police radio encrypted?
Roseville Police is listed in our records with P25 ADP encryption — a listing we haven't yet verified against live talkgroup data. This agency is listed as encrypting some communications while leaving others open. The per-channel breakdown is unverified — check RadioReference for current status.
Can I listen to Roseville Police on a police scanner?
Possibly. Our database lists Roseville Police as encrypting some of its talkgroups while leaving others open, which would leave some channels accessible. The listing is unverified — check RadioReference for specific talkgroup status.
Why do agencies like Roseville Police encrypt their radio?
Officer safety and operational security are the reasons agencies give. What rarely comes with that explanation is Wake County-specific evidence that open communications ever caused a problem, while the loss of public oversight and the friction with still-unencrypted neighboring agencies are both immediate and real.
Can Wake County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes, and some departments already have. Because encryption here is a choice rather than a technical necessity, the path back runs through the same people who chose it: budget hearings, records requests, and residents who keep asking in public.
What can I do about Roseville Police encryption?
Start local: show up when Wake County officials discuss the budget for Roseville Police, and ask specifically why full encryption was chosen over a delayed feed or tactical-only approach. File a FOIA request for recordings or policy documents, and connect with others nearby who want the same information — a coordinated ask carries more weight than an individual one.
