Hartford Police: the only agency listed in Washington County County
1 public safety agencies in Washington County County, Wisconsin have encrypted their radio communications.
Radio encryption in Washington County County
Encryption in the Washington County record is narrow. Its single verified entry, Hartford Police, encrypts tactical channels only, using P25 AES-256 on the Washington County system, so routine traffic is not covered by that designation. Seven of the county's nine cataloged talkgroups are clear and two are encrypted. On the documented evidence a scanner is a reasonable proposition here. The record covers no other municipality, nor the sheriff, fire or EMS, so it is a single-agency view of the county rather than a comprehensive one.
