Looks like Grand Forks PD and Sheriff are starting encryption now, been out of town for a while, not sure when it started

Okay....my logs don't show any recurring encrypted comms on those talkgroups until about 9:30 this morning (December 3rd)

I noticed on December 1st they turned on their encryption. Sad. At least east side is still in the clear!

Sorry for necroposting but I sure hope Fire and EMS stay clear for the foreseeable future because a lot of areas are starting to fully encrypt Fire and EMS comms too

I would highly doubt Fire/EMS would ever encrypt in our area. Lots of departments like our rural fire and ems struggle just to purchase radios. And there hasn't been a need for encrypting. I wouldn’t worry or loose to much sleep.

I just hope the state doesn't do what Bismarck did in the late 2000s and encrypt literally EVERYTHING
