Radio encryption in Clinton County
Only one of the 6 talkgroups catalogued for Clinton County on Ohio MARCS-IP is encrypted, with 5 still in the clear. Three agencies are tracked and all are logged as encrypting everything monitored using P25 AES-256: Clinton County EMS, whose record is verified against RadioReference data, and the Clinton County Sheriff and Wilmington Police, both of which are unverified. The agency-level picture is therefore mostly unconfirmed, while the talkgroup count suggests a scanner still receives most of what is monitored in the county.
