Radio encryption in Lane County
Unusually, every record for Lane County is verified: all five tracked agencies are confirmed against RadioReference and all five encrypt every monitored channel with P25 AES-256. That includes the Eugene Police Department, the Springfield Police Department, the Lane County Sheriff, the University of Oregon Police Department and Lane Community College District DPS, so both municipal and campus law enforcement are closed. Six of 27 monitored talkgroups remain in the clear against 21 encrypted, across the SW 7 County Interoperable Public Safety Radio Partnership, the Oregon State Radio Project and a Silke Communications system in Eugene. A scanner will hear a small remainder of traffic, none of it from the agencies named above.
