Beverly Hills PD popping up on 2252 Dispatch talkgroup. No activity on analog or digital conventional channels. Fire Dispatch still conventional.

BHPD is using the blue 2 talkgroup for dispatch instead of blue3 which was the original plan. Blue2 is encrypted.

Several Torrance TGs have been noted and are in the Db now.

A huge thank you to whoever provided all the INSB talkgroups that are now in the database. [emoji16]

I'd suspect law will be ENC with fire and public works in the clear. Seems to be the trend these days as cities transition to ICI.

I'm guessing no one local to these areas being infected by ICI>ICIS>ISIS have written to their city council or police chiefs in protest to convince them of the benefits of staying in the clear?

Had to add my jab.

If we all make a vote "I would vote you" to start this crusade. But I am pretty sure I bet my life on that this would be a losing battle until our socal basin crumbles to dirt with a 9.0 or greater on the earthquake scale. Nothing will change until then. My 2 cents worth.

Am I correct that Torrance and redondo beach will be going digital and encryption? I saw the information on the database, any information on this?

Yes Redondo and Torrance are founding members of the Interoperable Network South Bay(INSB) JPA which will utilize the ICI trunked system.

It wouldn't do any good. Encryption is being deployed for multiple reasons. Once of the major ones is police baiters (they refer to themselves as "First Amendment auditors") are chasing police calls via bicycle or in vehicles. Torrance, Hawthorne, Gardena, El Segundo, and others have had major problems with these guys. There was actually several instances where these "auditors" have showed up at in-progress crime scenes and started videotaping. They get in the way and cause problems for responding officers (several videos are available on YouTube which document their behavior).

I normally don't advocate for encryption of day-to-day dispatch talkgroups, however, in this case I feel its justified.

I’m curious as to why you think a major disaster would change SOPs with regards to encryption.... In fact, FEMA teams deployed to disaster areas operate exclusively with encryption. And if a need did arise for unencrypted mutual aid, they have clear M/A talkgroups for a reason.

Any idea when the Torrance - Redondo beach area will go digital? encryption?

Probably sooner than later. I heard by March is the cutover date

Well the main guy Tom Zebra who started it all back more than 15 years as well as his other minor partner who came in later that claims to be "press" who both started First amendment auditing and showing up to police calls and traffic stops when hearing the calls over their scanners in the south bay area . Once those agencies switch over I am sure they will both will battle this in court and others claiming its their first amendment right to have access and listen in.

Went to his website, sent him a message, let him have it! :-[

Yeah, people need to realize the big issue isn't criminals with scanners its first amendment "auditors" who just scan the dispatch channels and go to calls to with the intent to record and get in the way of officers on scene. There is one video where the guy heard some undercover Torrence units give out their location on the analog dispatch channel, he then proceeded to go to the location to record UC personnel/operations and posted it to youtube. I guess these "auditors" just think these kinds of issues don't make it up the chain of command...

Torrance PD special units are now using a couple of their new ICI talkgroups all with AES encryption. Also saw some traffic on the Torrance dispatch channels also all using AES... Seems like people are starting to move away from the ICI DES common key.

Torrance FD is now broadcasting its computer generated dispatch messages on Fire Dispatch when there is a call. No human voices, or mobile responses. According to a TFD firefighter I was talking to, the cut over is coming in a month or two.

Yes I just heard Torrance FD on talkgroup 3161 in the clear using automated voice dispatch now.

Listening to them test Talkgroup 2079 for the South Bay ICIS. Automated recording stating "Station 2 testing"
