Radio encryption in Medina County
Three police agencies are recorded in Medina County, all using P25 AES-256. Brunswick Hills Police encrypt all monitored channels and Medina Police encrypt tactical traffic only, both verified records, while an unverified Medina Township Police record lists full encryption. Two systems operate in the area: the shared Parma / Medina County / Ottawa County system and Ohio MARCS-IP, the statewide Multi-Agency Radio Communications network. The catalogue is small, eight talkgroups of which three are encrypted and five remain in the clear. With so few monitored channels on record, anyone judging scanner value here should check the current Medina County listings on RadioReference rather than relying on these totals alone.
