Its the same system they have had. They just didn't have there transmissions in encryption mode. The radio can be set to OPS normal, or OPS secure. Its DES. They have always had that capability , and used it in the past. Its just that those 2 cars, have their radios set to OPS secure. That static burst you hear is DES encryption. This system will become obsolete, soon as parts wont be available for analog systems. So when brockville PD does get a new radio system, it will be digital. Look back in the RR threads about brockville pd, and you will see threads written about this system. Its not new. I believe they are using Kenwood radios supplied and maintained by glentel communications
