I just read an article about the Police and Fire going digital in the fall. It mentions encryption on "some channels". Anyone know if dispatch is going to be monitorable via scanner?

Unless the FD/Union are providing the feed directly from a console, then Yes Scanners will be able to listen, as that is generally how Broadcastify get's it's feeds.

Emanuelson said, “People will still be able to listen to police and fire operations on the Broadcastify app. Links to the app will be on the Marlborough Fire Department’s website once we go digital in the fall of 2024. Of course, some radio channels will be encrypted to protect sensitive information.”
