Radio encryption in Richmond County
Richmond County — the Northern Neck county, not the city that shares the name — has one verified agency here, the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, and it is fully encrypted. Deputies work the Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Regional Radio System using P25 AES-256, the strongest cipher in routine public-safety use, with no clear channel recorded alongside it. For a county where the sheriff is the whole of local law enforcement, that closes the only routine window residents had into day-to-day operations.
