Springfield makes ‘necessary’ decision to encrypt dispatch channels to maintain security

SPRINGFIELD — The City of Springfield is now encrypting its police, fire, and EMS dispatch channels.
A spokesperson for the city said the change went into effect on Sunday and “is necessary to maintain operational security in our community.”
The city listed four key reasons for encrypting the channels:
Protection of operational security
Enhanced incident response safety
Prevention of misuse by the public
Compliance with data protection standards.
"Encrypting these channels is not about withholding information but about safeguarding the integrity of our operations and ensuring that our first responders can perform their duties without the added risk of public interference,” the spokesperson stated. “The safety of our residents is our highest priority, and these enhancements will contribute to a more secure and effective emergency response system.”

Meaning, they don’t want people to hear when the police is called out because Spot was eaten by the Haitians

In other words, they don’t want the truth to get out.

Aren't police communications public record?

So what about long term? Will they be encrypted from now on, for good?
Seems terribly non transparent of them.

They are and I hope Springfield PD is buried in public information requests immediately.

Local politics is just as corrupt or worse than the Feds.

The city officials don't seem that worried about it.
Posted on 9/26/24 at 11:31 pm to Mellow Drama
Pretty sure that is illegal.

it's not about withholding information. it's about making sure the public doesn't "interfere" by withholding information.

Apparently, they don't

Asking a serious question, can these encrypted channels be "hacked" or decrypted by people who have the necessary tools/programs?
I ask since if the Fappening was possible this should be THAT hard...but then again i know nothing about the intricacies of radio frequencies, electrical engineering, etc.

I don’t think it is as much as you think. If Ohio has an interoperable P25 system like Louisiana in the 700 MHz band, you pay Motorola a fee for your agency and most of the radios just have to have the decryption keys added to them via a software update.
