Radio encryption in Marion County
Salem Police Department is the single agency on record in Marion County, verified as encrypting all its monitored channels with P25 AES-256. Two systems appear in the county data: the Oregon State Radio Project and a Salem P25 system. The talkgroup catalogue is heavily encrypted, with eight of nine closed and one left in the clear. For a scanner buyer focused on Salem, that is close to a complete blackout of the monitored set. The dataset covers only this one agency, so the county sheriff and other departments are not represented in these figures; check RadioReference for their current status.
