Radio encryption in Hancock County

Hancock's documented agency is a city police department rather than a sheriff: Findlay Police, verified and fully encrypted with P25 DES-OFB on the Multi-Agency Radio Communications System. DES-OFB is an older cipher than the AES variants that turn up elsewhere in Ohio's records, an unusual choice on a modern statewide network, though the practical effect on a listener is identical. Findlay is the only agency on file for Hancock, so the county's fire and EMS picture is not yet mapped and may still be open.
