Thanks for your reply. I have known Dakota had been discussing the change since Hennepin County encrypted in 2019. It seems peculiar that a large county like Dakota would not involve its constituency prior to making a policy and operational change this significant. Particularly after seeing the dissonance Hennepin realized after they made the change there. Do you know, @stmills , was there ANY official announcement made to the public, not necessarily a "big" one. Like I said, I am finding nothing at all still and you seem to have some knowledge about these kind of things in Dakota. I look forward to your response. Thanks ahead of time.
I hope Wright County doesn't join the club anytime soon....
Did you hear that as just Law? I was talking to a Wright County Dispatcher a few weeks ago, and mentioned them going Encrypted. He said he doesn't think Fire will join due to cost for each Department. Just Law Enforcement.
Dang. Where did you hear that? Any info on sherburne or state patrol?
And Wright Co LE radios have been ENC capable since they went onto ARMER in January 2010 as Buffalo, Annandale, and Howard Lake Police Tacticals have always been ENC as have WR's Law 4, Law 5, ERT, SIU1 and SIU2. Law 4 and Law 5 see about 0.3% the traffic of the law main.
Yeah I’ve known that too. Have always wondered what they used law 4 and 5 for. Very rare to see traffic on them
I wonder if they will just transition to law 4&5 when they encrypt. Of if they will use new talk groups.
