No encryption at the Delaware Memorial Bridge DRBA. I was listening to conversation last night and this morning.
Maybe they only turn on E when forty-six is in-state.

DRBA ENF is the police and they are sometimes Encrypted but it's usually dispatch. The past few days they have been in the clear. But if you want the police then it's S-DRBA ENF S-DRBA is Sussex Operations (maybe the Ferry?)

If that was true then so would Cape Henlopen and they don't. I was listening the last time he came and I heard them clearing the park and getting ready for arrival. I heard them talking about a specific arrival time but it turned out he was an hour late anyway. But the entire time they were in the clear on the S-CAPE HEN channel.
Evidently I had something turned off when I reported DRBA Encrypted. In Lewes today and the DRBA L/C. Both PD and Ferries. Sorry for the false alarm.
Ha don't scare us like that lol.
Noticed Denrec’s dispatch is encrypt this morning. Units in the clear. 2022 the year of E 😬
Noticed it last week than was in clear again

Some do have Encryption. I noticed Cape Henlopen in Lewes had partial encryption.

Kentcom continues to be encrypted tonight on DNREC Law Dispatch. I'll be curious to see if they show back up in the clear

It seems to happen sporadicly so I wonder if it's at the discretion of the dispatcher to encrypt their console. At least it's very rare for F&W and Park Officer units to flip the switch.

Dewey PD seems to have their dispatch encrypted but their mobile and portable units are in the clear.
Either the console or the subscriber can enable encryption for their transmissions. Either can decode those messages even when answering in the clear. Sometimes dispatchers or field units "forget" to disable encryption when not needed.
If I were designing the system the default would be "in the clear" with a Dispatcher enabled encryption.
Back in the day....early 1980's...we had a four by four 16 possiblity Privacom grid changed every shift. Positions A through D and 1 through 4.
"All units, Scrambler and acknowledge" followed by a message about pizza at a fire station...never anything law enforcement sensitive;.

Yeah I know how they work. My portable is always encrypted along with our dispatch but some units never turned theirs on.
