nope, only authorized radios within the system will be allowed to listen into the towns police department. unfortunately this is what the scanning hobby is coming too,
The P25E means P25, which the HP1 can normally receive, but they are using encryption (E). Not a specific Mode, just the way that Radioreference chooses to display it.

Nearly every PD in Fairfield County is encrypted or has plans to. It's really accelerated in the last 5-10 years.That's what happens when you have towns with endless supplies of cash, eager radio sales people, and police that generally want to operate under the cloak of encryption. It's unfortunate and the only way the trend reverses itself is with legislation. I don't know how cops did their jobs in the old days when there was no such thing as digital trunked encrypted radio systems.

What happened to Conn Sunshine Law??
Two-way emergency radio telecommunication are not covered under it if I remember right.
Long before encrypted systems became ubiquitous (let's call it 1980s/90s), PDs used Nextel PTT, then cell phones, and now MDTs to transmit sensitive info. I really don't get the point of encryption on general dispatch channels. I think the next step in this cat and mouse game is going to be people using their drones to monitor police activity and then tell the world about it via social media as it's happening. Still not as good as being able to listen in directly, but enough to annoy public safety wishing to hide their CFSes via encryption. CSP probably goes full time encrypted in the near future which means law enforcement monitoring is no longer a thing in CT given that CSP is the primary law enforcement agency in most of the state.
I am sad to say I think you are right.
