Sorry, lord of the radio forums.
The one I looked at was locked. My sincerest apologies for passing along a news article from today.

Saw a traffic agent with a 900/P949 a few min ago which was on the Manhattan Traffic channel. Don’t think there was a secure icon.I wonder if they will be Encr.?

From what I've heard so far from various portables on the street, it still sounds analog. Likely this is move to newer portables to start replacing the VX-537's.

Over and out? State bill would thwart NYPD radio encryption plan and protect public access to transmissions | amNewYork
State lawmakers are looking to thwart the NYPD's plans to encrypt all their police radios and keep the press and public in tune with police communications.

Here is the actual bill
:
www.nysenate.gov
JUSTIFICATION:
Across the nation, law enforcement agencies have slowly begun encrypting
their radio transmissions. This move not only prevents the public from
having access to important information about police activity, but
dangerously inhibits news organizations from tracking and reporting on
police actions. The public and its media sources have a right to trans-
parency of its law enforcement agencies. Though agencies may need to at
times protect sensitive information that may be conveyed over the course
of these communications, a balance can be struck. This bill responds to
the recent uptick in police radio encryptions by requiring law enforce-
ment agencies that encrypt any part of their radio communications to
establish a policy which, aside from cases containing sensitive informa-
tion, allows instant access to members of the press and emergency
services organizations, and no more than a 10-minute lag in streaming
for the public. Similar initiatives to keep police radio transmissions
public have been proposed in California and enacted in Colorado.
:
NY State Senate Bill 2023-S7759A
Enacts the "keep police radio public act"; ensures that, except for sensitive information, all radio communications are accessible to emergency services organizations and professional journalists.

The N.Y.P.D. Is Upgrading Its Radios. The Public Won’t Be Able to Tune In.
The New York Police Department is spending $500 million on a new radio system it calls more reliable and secure. But the public will no longer be able to monitor what officers are doing minute to minute.
According to Eyewitness News, NYC Council is having a discussion on the encryption of NYPD radios.

Yes, watched it...... NYPD had their radio chief with Pro E info, and the entire NY Press with Anti- E info
The way NYC is going these days the press might win.

The corporate attorney for ABC Network and WABC TV as well as about 20 representatives of New York City media and press were speaking in favor of real-time complete access to all NYPD dispatch channels.
The founder of the citizens app was there advocating for the same.
The New York City Media and press, will continue to fight for real time clear access to all encrypted NYPD dispatch channels.
Community groups and neighborhood watch teams and activists are advocating for clear Access to NYPD encrypted dispatch channels, with a delay if necessary.... Just like Chicago has done.
New York Congressional members, and some New York City council members are advocating for clear access to NYPD encrypted dispatch channels.
This is only the start.
