Lake County Sheriffs and County going Starcom

[scraech]

Forgot to come back to this post and chime back in. But Grayslake PD has made the migration over to Starcom 21. Oh and those who will ask yes its encrypted.

Seems as if FoxComm has switched over this morning. Main dispatch and car to car is busy TGID: 33312

I know Lake Villa was dispatched by FoxComm. But their channel is active on starcom today as well. TGID 33320

LV resident here who monitored the local police and fire. Can I upgrade to a digital trunking scanner or are they encrypted? Thanks for any info.

 

[scraech]

Sorry Mr. Wolf but the Police are encrypted as well. Even Lindenhurst is encrypted.

 

[scraech]

You should still be able to hear the fire and rescue

 

[wolfkeeper]

Thanks. Fire is still available on analog, are they moving as well?

 

[scraech]

That a possibility for fire communication on Starcom 21 for those departments. Currently on starcom TGID's 33397-33405 are fire channels. Just not active yet. And there are several unassigned talk groups. For example TGID'S 33188-33200 and 33237-33250.

CENCOMM

This evening was searching on tower 115 and CENCOMM talk group 34103 was in the clear. About time these towns are telling Lake county we want to be in the clear. Obviously no reason to hide behind the secured communications

 

[jpm]

Or should I say migrated onto tower 115. My bad

Well you can't listen to them but you can watch them https://patch.com/illinois/lakeforest/local-sheriffs-deputies-be-featured-live-pd, so why did they encrypt if they agreed to this?

 

[scraech]

TGID:34109 Possibly lake in the hills. I know its not in Lake county but I was receiving the transmission and trying to ID it.

A-men, I plan on writing a letter to the editor about Police radio encryption with in the next two weeks, any tips to increase the chances of it getting published, would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry folks... no amount of pleading, begging, whining or crying is going to change the decision to use Encryption. Cook County set the precedence .. People like Ray Kelly blatantly getting on Lake County's EDACS system pretty much sealed that deal.. Remember being able to monitor is a privilege not a right and to say " its my tax dollars I can hear what the police are doing!" is always trumped by reasons of Officer safety ...You could be in the UK where nothing is able to be monitored...

 

[usswood]

But this isn't the UK and who said it was a privilege for me to monitor??? This isn't driving, It's the people's airwaves sir!!!! But anyway... Write letters to your congressman and senators .... don't waste your time on the media, they can't help anyway!

Remember even cook county went on cops a couple of times after going encrypted. I'm sure they will not let them tape live pd for long in Lake County. Just enough to say see we weren't hiding anything. And all except for the breaking and entering call the Sheriff's Dept was late to and a domestic dispute . All of the other action revolved around the flooding not very eventful when they are are being watched are they

Keep dreaming. ....Peoples airwaves LOL...Its the police's communications and they have the right to choose radio allow traffic to be heard or not.
