Radio encryption in James City County

In James City the documented agency is a municipal police department rather than a sheriff's office, and the James City Police Department encrypts all of its traffic with P25 ADP on the Peninsula Regional Radio System. ADP is proprietary scrambling rather than a standards-body cipher, but from a listener's chair it is indistinguishable from any other closed channel. Residents of James City have no clear dispatch channel to fall back on, though the configuration is worth re-checking on RadioReference before treating it as permanent.
