Seeing how Chicago and Illinois are nearly bankrupt, I don't see it happening any time soon.

Probably not unless CPD goes Starcom21.
Nawww...why would they do something like that? Maybe because some gang banger driving around doing a drive-by while listening to CPD Zone 1.

Don't worry everyone. By encrypting the CPD radio traffic any and all gang related shootings will stop and be a thing of the past. And no officer will ever be injured again.

As you can see by the news.. it did not help him in the end.. he still ended up in jail.. Despite him having a radio on CPD dispatch.. he is still a retard and no radio can change the fact that he is a retard.. that is why he is in jail today.
I'm aware of the end result, but what many don't know who aren't monitoring Chicago on a daily basis is they are having many "rogue radio" transmissions, etc. This just adds fuel to the fire. Keep in mind too, this radio system has been around for decades. We have UHF-T systems that will have to be replaced within 10 years too, so look for some changes to occur.

The irony of this discussion is that the scanner made absolutely no difference in the outcome of the shooting.
That was not a scanner in his door pocket it had a long UHF whip
"Retard?" nice choice of language...

I guess I could have used idiot, loser, wanker, fool or moron instead... I was not slighting anyone with true health issues.
Recently, the OEMC in Chicago obtained three licenses for a P25 800 MHz trunked system that will be used to provide comms for all city agencies (including Police and Fire). As of now, I have no info as to whether or not ENC will be used...
