Radio encryption in Miami County
Three police departments make up the Miami County record, all on Ohio MARCS-IP: Troy Police, verified as fully encrypted with P25 AES-256; Tipp City Police, listed as fully encrypted but unverified; and Piqua Police, listed as encrypting tactical channels only and also unverified. Two of the three records are therefore unconfirmed. Only two talkgroups are monitored in the county, both logged as clear with none encrypted. That is a very small sample to judge scanner viability from, and it does not reconcile with the agency listings, so treat this record as a starting point and check the live MARCS-IP talkgroup data on RadioReference.
