Sounds like farmers branch police are transmitting without encryption ? I've heard several calls on broadcastify calls platform nodes ! What's up with this ?

Stuff happens. Last week there were a couple FWPD SWAT guys on SWAT Surv, TG 5282 in Fort Worth in the clear. Was reluctant to say anything, was hoping they wouldn't catch it.

Or at least the dispatcher is Heard. Wondering how long it's been like this ?
No idea. I don't normally have the PD talkgroups on that system activated, since it's normally full time encrypted.

Addison & Carrollton PD TGIDs are full time encrypted during the few hours I activated those talkgroups.

For both Farmer's Branch, & Coppell, for the past couple of hours, dispatch has been in the clear, though field units are still full time in the dark. I suspect it's an error in the dispatch center, not a change in policy.

I'll leave those talkgroups engaged for now, then check tomorrow morning to see if dispatch stays clear, or reverts to encrypted.

Now I did hear some very brief activity with Addison PD , it sounded like dispatcher and mobile units both were clear then nothing. But I heard this by listening to the nodes on calls platforms/ broadcastify
