Anyone know what zone CPD will use for lollapalooza
You can still hear them with a delay on Broadcastify.What does it matter? RRDB shows all zones fully encrypted P25 conventional
Zone 4 on the delayed feed, and Citywide 6 analog and in the clear.You can still hear them with a delay on Broadcastify.
My guess is they'll be using Zone 1 since the event takes place there.
Thank you.Zone 4 on the delayed feed, and Citywide 6 analog and in the clear.
..and since the entire CPD side was available to be streamed on a cell phone with a bluetooth device, and if you have evil intent (mass shooting, dirty bomb etc), and events like this are labeled as "targets" by the federal authorities, it's probably a good idea to encrypt large gatherings. CFD JHAT Teams have been on an encrypted talkgroup for many events since their conversations were being "streamed" on CFD Joint Ops. Some talk that CFD EMS might be heading in that direction soon too for the same reason. Unless you've ever worked in the "blueprint" of one of these (like I have), and understand the agencies that are involved, you'd agree it's a good idea too.What does it matter?

And if God forbid an event such as a dirty bomb or mass shooting happened, word would get out anyway. So how is encrypting making a difference? Sounds like "security theater" to me, or did they just not want the public to know the ammount of suspicious packages that turn out to be BS. Or did this have to do when someone almost did a Vegas style shooting at Lolla and got caught? Either way I think having the bulk of the traffic in the clear would be better, have the special operations stuff encrypted.

If the person or persons knows the whereabouts of specific agencies and plan on doing harm, that should make sense. I don't agree with encrypting dispatch traffic, especially since CPD has reprogrammed all the radios with these encrypted zones. Preventing the word "getting out" is not the goal here, it's "preventing as best as they can" from something like that happening and unsecured radio communications that can be streamed could be an issue. You have to look beyond the scanners and think how this world has changed very recently and the methods used have become more complex.And if God forbid an event such as a dirty bomb or mass shooting happened, word would get out anyway.

I can see this making sense for the units and agencies down there that operate in covert or undercover mode. I can also see why they might feel that a suspicious package call that turns out to be BS might cause a panic. But I feel that having most of the detial traffic on the clare would be beneficial as it would give the public a glance into what CPD and CFD go through at these events.If the person or persons knows the whereabouts of specific agencies and plan on doing harm, that should make sense.

Quite honestly, no one cares with the exception of a few scanner folks.But I feel that having most of the detail traffic in the clear would be beneficial as it would give the public a glance into what CPD and CFD go through at these events.

Asked and answered with the reasons why. You can close it if it's bothersome.Or we can get back to the original question, which was...
