I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the reason for the push to encryption has to do with a DOJ mandate re: personal identifying information. It's not so much that these agencies want to go encrypted, it's more like they have to. We had encryption at my old agency and we found it a PITA. That said, the new radios don't have any issue with loosing their keys so it should work fine. Not what many want to hear, but it is what it is.
Agencies have other options besides encryption to comply with the mandate. But let’s not turn this thread into another encryption debate, plenty of other threads on the site cover this topic in length and it’s always an “interesting” discussion.

I just spoke with a CHP officer at the CA 175 year celebration in front of the Capitol, and he told me that CHP Capitol Ops fully transitioned to CRIS last Wednesday. I haven't seen any new talkgroups in the 700 range, but I don't spend a lot of time looking at the display to see one pop up.
This morning, the CHP Stockton Dispatch Center was testing CRIS on the Valley White channel. It appears they were simulcasting with the LB White channel, but it appears only a matter of time before they go live on CRIS.

I wasn't debating anything, just explaining for those that didn't know. Trust me I wasn't thrilled about either but when DOJ sends out a demand to comply or loose access to CLETS/CJIS you do what you have to do.
