Frequently Asked Questions
Is Everman Township Police radio encrypted?
Yes — Everman Township Police's radio system runs on P25 AES-256 encryption. This agency encrypts all of its radio communications, including routine dispatch. The public, journalists, and even other first responders can't monitor its activity.
Can I listen to Everman Township Police on a police scanner?
No. Everman Township Police has fully encrypted their radio communications using P25 AES-256. No consumer scanner can decode encrypted transmissions.
Why did Everman Township Police encrypt their radio?
Departments typically point to officer safety and operational security. Neither claim tends to come with evidence specific to Tarrant County; what's verifiable is what's lost — journalists can't monitor police department activity in real time, and coordination with agencies that stay unencrypted gets harder.
Can Tarrant County reverse the encryption decision?
Yes. Whoever made this call for Everman Township Police can also unmake it; there's no technical lock-in. The approach that has worked elsewhere combines public-records requests, direct council pressure, and a coordinated local coalition.
What can I do about Everman Township Police encryption?
Contact the officials who oversee Everman Township Police's budget directly and ask why full encryption was chosen over partial alternatives. Pair that with a FOIA request for recordings and policy records, and look for an existing coalition in Tarrant County, or start one, since agencies respond differently to organized, sustained pressure than to individual complaints.
