Radio encryption in Tipton County
Tipton County is a DMR county rather than a P25 one: all three catalogued agencies use DMR Enhanced Privacy on the Tipton County Public Safety system, which takes a different scanner than the P25 gear most of this database assumes. The Tipton County Sheriff's Office encrypts all traffic, while the county police and fire departments are listed as partial, so some dispatch here remains in the clear. Only the sheriff's record is verified; the other two are not.
