Menifee PD did go live July 1! You are correct, everything I have read is that Chief Walsh wants open communication with the community. I am not sure that he can do anything about his talkgroups on the PSEC system being encrypted, however as open as he seems to be to community involvement and transparency, it has had me wondering how he feels about encryption.
I was able to look inside one of their squads and saw their radio. It had MNFE PD3 set as the primary at the time, and above it in smaller letters was MNFE PD1, which I assume was also being monitored in the background. This was when they were doing parades around town to talk to citizens, so it appeared that they were using MNFE PD3 for the event. I would love to know how they have their radios programmed, however at the moment this appears to only reveal the two talkgroups and I assume their is a MNFE PD2 as well. I have no idea what the TGID's are on the PSEC system.
They are dispatched by Murrieta PD for anyone that may not be aware.
