NYPD encryption technical thread
- Thread starter Hbright
- Start date
As of today, we lost Zone 5 (19-23-PSA5) and Zone 9 (33-34) to the dark side 💔 I’ll miss Zone 9 for all the memories and laughs.
Less than 10 precinct zones left.

The last hold out in Queens South, Zone 29 covering the 103-107 and PSA9, has switched over.

That just leaves the 104/112, 109/111 and 110/115 in the clear.
All these posts but nobody submitting RRDB updates????
Nope, but on the bright side, a lot of the nonsense regarding these NYPD threads will come to an end today.
Wait, you're telling me I can actually submit useful information to a database to benefit others, not just complain about the state of comms "going to the big E" in the forums? News to me!!Nope, but on the bright side, a lot of the nonsense regarding these NYPD threads will come to an end today.
I sure hope so. I don't think the number has changed since 1981. Its written on the walls everywhere here.Just to lighten up the mood, did anyone else catch that reference?
Someone in north Hudson County (probably Union City, NJ) had to change their number back then.
And, based on what has been submitted to RRDB, Manhattan 6/9, 10/13, 20/CPK/24, 25/28/32 & 26/30 are still in the clear.

I recently filed a police report in one of the precincts in Queens that are still analog. While I was hearing analog traffic on the desk officer radio, another officer at the desk was listening to what sounds like a digital citywide frequency announcing 10-30s and high priority jobs, etc, all over the city. Does anybody have any insight on what these digital citywide frequencies are?

I was in there for about 20 minutes and didn't hear any units, just central announcing jobs across the city. Definitely sounds like CW1/2 but digital. This was during the afternoon shift change at 3pm on a weekday.

CW-4?

Could be, I didnt head any units but it could very well be CW4. When PD was analog, I remember that frequency was being used for pursuits etc. They might just use their E precinct frequencies now.
Guys think of CW-4 as just like the rest of em, doesn’t see much activity other than officers (CRT mainly) engaging in jobs with the need to put over any 85,13 pursuit, or Fleeing Vehicle info. Just like CW-1 strictly SRG, Scooter Task force, and CO response teams that’s about it. CW-4 will put over high priority jobs, and most cops once they hear it they just switch to that precinct instead of replying because they can do so
I would agree, CW-4. On SOD, units would regularly be heard, including aviation and marine.
You can still hear the SOD guys on other stuff besides the E channels if you know where to monitor during certain emergencies

There's some very interesting testing on CW-1 this morning with hardware you wouldn't expect to hear over the air.

But I thought CW1/2/3 were supposed to remain clear 😤 lol
Wouldn't surprise me because of the mess that happened at the mass shooting in july. But maybe it was for the no kings protest today or just PD techs decided nah we're locking it down.
