Radio encryption in York County
York's documented agency is a campus force rather than the locality's own department: the College of William and Mary Police, on the Peninsula Regional Radio System with P25 ADP across its traffic. ADP is Motorola's proprietary scrambling rather than a federally validated cipher, and it draws criticism precisely because agencies adopt it as a convenience default. For students, parents and reporters in York, the effect is that campus incident response cannot be followed live on a scanner.
