Does anyone know if or have a current list of which Fire / EMS agencies in Colorado use encryption on their systems and if they are full time, or only have certain tactical channels they encrypt as needed?
Apparently there has been some controversy in Washington DC with their Fire / EMS going totally encrypted, then reversing that decision.

Thanks!

Thanks for your replies

Thanks for the replies - I was able to see the Wiki which was helpful, but did not confirm what type of encryption is being used and suggested La Junta Fire and possibly Fremont County is encrypted for Fire/EMS. I also wanted to confirm the information is recent and accurate if possible.

I saw the suggestion of using the database, but it would look like I need to search county by county and I did not see where it shows if encryption is enable and on which channels.

Thanks again everyone for your help.

What you'll find is that many more agencies than are listed there encrypt one or more of their channels. For example, Longmont is not listed because it runs their primary dispatch channel in the clear, but all other channels (talkgroups) are usually encrypted.
