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

Encrypting these channels is not about withholding information
When will the media and public entities realize we aren’t buying any of their gaslighting anymore?

Sounds like a daily FOIA request for audio recordings of all 911 calls, and all dispatch logs, needs to happen.

100% someone has been keeping a list. Springfield was already a dump but it’s now moving into shite hole territory. Gonna be tough for beavercreek to prevent Dayton and Springfield from merging into a massive shite hole

This is common nationwide. I can speak to southeast Louisiana.
Most law enforcement in Terrebonne / Lafourche are encrypted.
Simply because in the past, before the LWIN system, it was not uncommon for criminals to have scanners and listen to the police response.
That decreased with the LWIN system but then a small group of people that upgraded to digital scanners began to post many of the police calls on Facebook and started groups.
Encryption is basically a security tool that decreases real time monitoring of radio traffic. Decreases mass response of private citizens to real time emergencies. Prevents criminals from monitoring police response to their crimes, etc.
Info is discoverable after the fact with FOIA requests.
The biggest reason for encryption is law enforcement safety and scene security.
Transparency still exists though not real time.

Is the mayor still raking in the federal dollars with his houses being rented to the illegals?

Look, crime is down.
We’ve had zero calls.

A lot of cities are doing this. Our city (Lewisville TX) recently did,
And we're not inundated by pet-eating Haitians (our largest minority group is Burmese refugees seeking religious freedom).

right. the edict has been handed down from on high that local law enforcement are not to investigate these voluminous reports of pets missing/being eaten. this way, they get to maintain the "muh no credible evidence" narrative. Think about that statement.... it doesnt say "no evidence". It adds the "credible" qualifier, which allows them to ignore reports and real evidence, and not formally investigate anything until the narrative dies off nationally.
its so unbelievably obvious.

Aren't police communications public record?
Yes. All the encryption does is prevent the public from getting the information in real time.

Yes, but bureaucracy is a beautiful thing ...if your goal is to delay, frustrate, withhold

Yes, just make your request. Wait a year and then get a redacted version of the call.

The availability of sensitive information in real time puts officers and the public at risk. If states want to clean up their open records processes or have agencies broadcast radio traffic on a delay, I'm fine with that.

Wrong. Most departments encrypt their communications.

Asking a serious question, can these encrypted channels be "hacked" or decrypted by people who have the necessary tools/programs?
No
