Radio encryption in Essex County
Essex sits on the Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Regional Radio System, where the Essex County Sheriff's Office encrypts its full traffic with P25 AES-256. Shared regional systems tend to make encryption sticky, because once a member agency keys up, partner agencies often follow to keep interoperability simple. Anyone monitoring Essex should watch what else happens on that regional system, since a sheriff's configuration is frequently the template the rest of the network copies.
