How We Update the Database

Data Source

We use the RadioReference API to gather talkgroup encryption data. This provides real-time information about which radio channels are encrypted across public safety systems.

Verification Process

Each agency is matched against our existing database and verified for accuracy. New discoveries are flagged for review and added with appropriate metadata.

Update Schedule

We aim to refresh the database monthly, with priority given to states with known encryption activity. Emergency updates may occur when major encryption decisions are announced.
