Radio encryption in Clark County
Clark County is one of the more open records in this dataset: not one of its three listed agencies encrypts everything. Springfield Police encrypts part of its traffic, and Springfield Fire and the Clark County Sheriff reserve P25 AES-256 for tactical channels on Ohio MARCS-IP — which means routine dispatch, the traffic a resident or local reporter actually needs, should still be audible here. The Springfield police and fire records are verified; the sheriff's listing is not.
