Everything NYPD encryption.

This again? 🤦♂️ What does it really matter, anyway? It's not as if you'll be able to do anything once they decide to encrypt. One day you'll wake up, turn on your scanner, and the NYPD frequencies will be silent. Then you and everyone else will have to find something else to listen to.
I thought that poor horse would have been decayed by now.

Especially open mics all at once and over talking each other, this why to many was killed at 9-11 because of the horrible radio traffic

NYPD to encrypt radios by 2024, affects transparency.
NYPD plans to encrypt radios by 2024, limiting media and public access. Understand how this move affects transparency and emergency communications in NYC.

NYPD police radios may go dark by late 2023 or 2024 — potentially cutting off the public, volunteer emergency groups and the media from day-to-day radio communications.

Questions about the new system, costing both federal and city coffers so far about $500 million, were answered by an unnamed NYPD spokesperson with this statement:
“The NYPD is undergoing a systems upgrade that is underway and that will be complete after 2024. This infrastructure upgrade allows the NYPD to transmit in either an encrypted or non-encrypted format. Some parts of the city have had the necessary equipment installed and the Department will begin testing the technology in these areas later this year. We are currently evaluating encryption best practices and will communicate new policies and procedures as we roll out this upgraded technology. We will listen to and consider the needs of members of the media when making these decisions.”

Bottom line is we have no '" rights " to listen to police communications. However many people will be mourning the loss of their cherished hobby , and the ability to be informed of criminal activity and other neighborhood activity where they live..... A good compromise would be public access to precinct dispatch cannels, WITH a required delay, and all Tac channels full time E

This is interesting:
"The NYPD has been suggesting the media might be able to monitor some radio transmissions with a smartphone app — controlled by the NYPD with possible delay, editing, eliminating an essential city-wide frequency and with the department choosing who might have access with a possible subscription fee involved".

only reason NYPD is going encrypted is because of the high crime and they wanna attract tourists by covering up the crime, THE NYPD SAID IN 2020 THAT THEY DON'T NEED TRUNKING OR WANT DIGITAL RADIOS, NOW THEY CHANGING THEIR MINDS DUE TO HIGH CRIME

From what I understand there are many "open transparency police groups" including the Reverend Al sharpton, and black lives matter, who will be all over this, doing interviews on national news insisting that the NYPD will be a secret police organization hiding all of their "underhanded, illegal activities" from the public...... This should be interesting....

Al Sharpton & the BLM is a corrupt organization and i don't support them whatsoever as they do illegal stuff too so i don't care what they say however it's due to high crime in the city, that's why
$500 Million??????
Is that right???
Is that right???
When I was working in the city a few years ago the radio guys for NYPD were in the same office, I beleve thay told me the PD alone had over 500 sites, 176 were transmit simulcast sites and the rest were rx sites.
They have 81 RF channels they are in charge of
With all that equipment 500 mil is on the low side but they have been replacing equipment for the last 10 years
If Motorola GTR is around 25k each 81 rf channels and 176 sites your already over 350 mil
Does that include BDAs?
It will probably end up costing over a billion dollars. They’ve already spent millions on the P949/APX900 which are only a few years old, which now they are replacing with the NEXT. Majority of it on the tax payers dime. Gotta love it. The real question I have though is the fact that they are spending all this money on new equipment without even testing the P25 system out first. What if it is installed and it turns out the system is a complete disaster? Then what? Do the taxpayers get a refund? I would have thought they would haven been conducting testing over the past several years. And sorry, but there really is no justification for buying APX NEXT radios at $8,000 a pop. If P25 is what they want, all they really needed was an APX6000. NYPD doesn’t even utilize VHF or 7/800 in their radios. Complete overkill
