It can. The radios support open and encrypted operation equally well, so this is a configuration and a policy, not a constraint — and policies set by Stark County officials are policies those officials can revisit when constituents press for it.
What can I do about Louisville/East Canton Police encryption?
Three things carry weight, in this order: a public-records request for Louisville/East Canton Police's encryption policy and radio recordings, a turn at the microphone during Stark County budget discussions, and finding the other people locally already asking the same question.
