Radio encryption in Stark County
Stark County sits close to an even split: 22 of 40 catalogued talkgroups on Ohio MARCS-IP are encrypted and 18 stay in the clear. Five police agencies are tracked, four encrypting everything and one, Canton Police, encrypting part. Alliance, Louisville/East Canton, and Canal Fulton police use P25 AES-256 alongside Canton, while Perry Township Police is recorded on MOTOTRBO. Four of the five records are verified against RadioReference data; the Canal Fulton entry is unverified. A scanner is still worth something here, but roughly half of the monitored channel list is unreadable.
