conway, ar police channels

[RADIOBRUDOGG]

I have set up my pro 96 dig scanner with freq but police transmissions come in scrambled why fire, county and ems are fine, has anyone set up this area?

The police department is encoded. From time to time you will hear the events channel that is not encoded. The SWAT sometimes uses this channel for training and such.

So with the pd being encoded, no scanner will work. Is this correct?

Right. Encryption is to keep unauthorized ears away.

Besides, the CPD is paranoid that the college kids will find out where they get their donuts and coffee.
