Radio encryption in Fredericksburg County
Fredericksburg's record covers three agencies, the Fredericksburg Police Department, the Fredericksburg Sheriff's Office and the University of Mary Washington, each listed as encrypting all monitored channels with P25 AES-256 on the Stafford / Fredericksburg system. Only the University of Mary Washington entry is verified against RadioReference; the police and sheriff records are not.

There is not enough in this dataset to say what a scanner would actually pick up in Fredericksburg, and the live RadioReference listing is the better source.
