Bethlehem City Police & EMS now Encrypted

At least for now, Dispatch is in the clear. Maybe this is their way of keeping some sort of transparency. At least you can still hear what police are responding to. More than I can say for most of the other encrypted systems out there now.

Man, what a bummer indeed. I had originally purchased my scanner just to listen to P25 in Bethlehem. Allentown PD is encrypted, now Bethlehem. I'm almost thankful that NorCo is still on a conventional system.

Yeah, as far as I know, Northampton is staying analog into the future.

Is BPD Dispatch continuing to be in the clear as of April 1st?

Good deal, thanks! Looks like I will be up that way in a couple weeks.

I just noticed this morning that Dispatch for Police and EMS are now encrypted as well. Fire is still in the clear.
