LEOs usually use two channels - public unencrypted and tactical encrypted.
For example police patrol would request ambulance for a car accident over unencrypted channel, while SWAT team storming house of another streamer would communicate over encrypted channel.
- nqr 8y agoWhy wouldn't they all use encrypted channels?
- coolspot 8y agoIn some jurisdictions they do. Reasoning to use open channels I read about is transparency to the public and potential benefit of having non-official first responders. https://www.zipscanners.com/resources/police-scanner-encryption-explained/ https://www.zipscanners.com/resources/police-scanner-encrypt...
