CHICO, Calif. — The Chico Police Department (CPD) has announced they are encrypting their radio communications.

I think it's one of those things where everyone wants to hear what other people are doing but if it's you personally, and it's your private information going out over the airwaves where anyone can hear it, that's when people seem to realize 'yea maybe that's not a good idea'. That's one of the arguing points for encryption is protecting the citizenry for all the things that are out there," said Brian Miller, Lieutenant for the Chico Police Department.
