I have had The Town Of Babylon Dept. Of Public Safety (472.9625) , programmed into my scanners for as long as I can remember. Its not action packed listening but I've enjoyed listened for many years. Usually it's just things like the parks are locked , a car is locked in the marina after hours etc. This past Thursday I turn on my HP1 and was shocked to hear that they have gone encrypted. It's a shame that most of local government is taking every public service away from us. Its our money that pays for all this and we should be able to listen in. I can see a PD surveillance being encrypted but a department that patrols the parking lots of local parks ? This is getting way out of control. We can't listen to anything in Nassau County anymore and now it's working it's way out to Suffolk County.
We lost another one : Town Of Babylon DPS

I think Babylon Town has or is changing to a DMR system. I bet u are hearing that.
They are licensed for analog and DMR. They probably went DMR.
That's not the same as going encrypted. (Although DMR can be also encrypted.)
Unencrypted DMR can be monitored.

Thank you , I guess it's time to save up for a new scanner since my HP1 can't monitor DMR
