My municipality is using encrypted trunked P25 for police comms now. Seems better than LTE for reliability at least. Just a simple digital voice codec and optional encryption system ontop of the traditional trunked radio systems. Compression means you can wedge many more streams out of it too. I have mixed feelings about the encryption though, especially with police data, generally I feel much of that data should be public with a more limited amount which should not. It's good to make public "there's a drunk driver on this street, right now", you just might not need to share their plate with the public.
