Here and there
Some parks the law enforcement use same main as the rest of park. Many simplify it and just make it all strapped. Nps le though does have access to their own secure chabnel but hardly use it in most places and stay on the respective park main and or local law enforcement county system most the time.

The U.S. Park Police is stationed in only three locations. San Francisco (Golden Gate National Recreation Area), New York City [Jamaica Bay and Staten Island Units of the Gateway National Recreation Area (GNRA), as well as at the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island National Historic Site] and Washington, D.C. The National Park Service oversees the agency, but also has their own daily law enforcement presence at all but the very smallest units, most of those in the eastern U.S. There are law enforcement rangers (Division of Visitor and Resource Protection) at all three of the above locations. It is hard to answer your question because I don't know the location of what you are hearing. I think the U.S. Park Police have a different type of unit/personnel radio identifier system, but I've forgotten what it is.

I have 173.825 tagged ( in sdr# ) as Gateway National Park Pd (NPS) nac 225 in New Jersey. Was very active during summer months 2017 and 2018. Mostly heard New Jersey registrations being checked. I used to receive it with an indoor antenna and an LNA (low noise amp) from East Islip NY and it came in strong. Then I locked it out.

Some others in New Jersey are calling it the new Sandy Hook channel with the same nac in this thread, but I had this logged long before the start of that thread dated Mar 2021

Especially our parks out here East of the M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
altho in the Urban environment the Maint/Ops have been known to use Cellphones, unless there is a major event on-going in the park, leaving the Two-way world to the LE side.

Nps le though does have access to their own secure chabnel but hardly use it in most places and stay on the respective park main and or local law enforcement county system most the time.

@Marcy57 are you seeing any activity on 173.825 today? I set up a dongle to watch the freq in sdr# and using an outdoor antenna here and I am not seeing any activity like I saw a few years ago.

Is it me or does it seem for the Sandy Hook Park Police with a NAC of 225 on 173.825 P25 is now encrypted? I only hear the dispatch side of the transmission. This started a few months back.

Ok thx. It seems they encrypted the unit side of the transmissions. The dispatch side is in the clear but nothing from the units. my XTS 2500 just makes a brief noise when the units should be are talking so I'm thinking the unit radios are transmitting with encryption. You can only hear one side of the transmissions (the dispatch side) sucks!!!

And in the clear at 2305....maybe it was dispatch like you say?
it was for a "lockout" ...I think you are right just the dispatch is in
the clear?? cause when (like u say) the units transmit briefly you
see the NAC but it,s like a split second....but I,m not that up on it!
but it seems like you say?...73,s Marcy
