- blantonl 6y agoEvery year new technology drives some agencies to remove their routine general dispatch operations from public access. Some agencies really like their communications to be publically available, and some don't. If I had to back-of-the-napkin it, I would say that 10-15% of all law enforcement general dispatch operations are encrypted full time. The vast majority in this country is still unencrypted.
- duskwuff 6y agoNot OP, but: many common voice encryption implementations have serious usability issues which lead to users inadvertently -- or often even intentionally -- disabling encryption https://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/p25sec08102011.pdf https://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/p25sec0810...
