Went to a JECC policy board meeting yesterday after hearing from local chiefs set on encrypting all law enforcement talkgroups including dispatch and possibly all event channels. The chiefs are blaming radio reference live feed even though their is a delay they also are blaming a am radio station that I was unaware of that on Friday nights broadcast law dispatch channels. I attempted to change minds with no success the JECC members all agree to encrypt law 1 and 3 do to officer safety how ever I feel they were not good enough to support encryption.
When I brought up cedar rapids having their dispatch channel open I
Was told they along with Linn county. Will be encrypting all law talkgroups by the end of July.
Black hawk county will also be using full law enforcement encryption as well.
I brought up a lot of examples not to encrypt one reason including the shooting of 2 Des Moines officers being shot and the Des Moines pd screaming over the radio stating any citizens monitoring on a scanner please call 911 if you have any info. Apparently our county didn't care so if this happens here good luck on the public's help our county does not see a significant use of public help I do not feel they cared or listened to a word I said.
Their will be another meeting but if it's just me again nothing will happen more citizens will need to show support besides just me!
the only good examples. They had was live feeds and a local radio station. Everyone on here who says live streaming isn't what is killing clear skies is fooling them selves as every chief in the room knows about it and is basing a decision on it.
