Radio encryption in Barnes County
Barnes County's verified agency is the Barnes County Sheriff's Dept., and its traffic is encrypted with P25 DES-OFB on the North Dakota Statewide Interoperable Radio Network (SIRN 20/20). On a statewide system, encryption is a policy question rather than a hardware one — the network supports it and each agency decides for itself. In Barnes County that decision has gone to full encryption, so there is no clear sheriff's channel left for residents or local reporters to follow.
