Radio encryption in Hanover County
Hanover is one of the more listenable entries in Virginia's data. The Hanover County Sheriff's Office runs on the Capital Region Radio System with P25 AES-256, but the record marks that encryption as partial rather than blanket, meaning part of the sheriff's traffic still reaches scanners in the clear. For anyone covering Hanover, that partial line is the thing to pin down: which talkgroups remain open today, and whether the county intends to close the rest.
