Radio encryption in Cass County
Cass County's record centers on one verified entry: the Fargo Police Department, encrypting all monitored channels with P25 DES-OFB on the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER). Of the six talkgroups cataloged for the county, five are encrypted and one remains clear. That is a closed picture both for the one cataloged agency and for most documented channels. No sheriff, fire or EMS agency appears in this record, so it is silent on whether those services can be monitored; the confirmed finding is limited to Fargo police traffic.
