OKC PD in the Clear / Most Tulsa PD encrypted

[ccsoe21]

I wonder if they will still tone out higher priority calls on RMA-2A?

I’m going to assume not, their push going to encryption was for security purposes. I don’t know why they would continue to tone out on RMA 2A unless they encrypt that also. Who knows though.

I assume not as well. I'll set one of my units up to monitor it over a few days to see. It can't hurt.

I thought all radio traffic on RMAs and SMAs had to be in the clear? Like you said who knows? We will just have to continue to listen and see if they still do. What a sad day. Sign of the times.

Is it true that okc pd is going full encryption?

They mostly already are except their dispatch channels. OKC FD is exepected to be fully encrypted very soon. Unk if alert or ops will remain open. I would contact the PIO of OKC FD to inquire about this further and voice the needs for certain channels to remain open.

Oh ok I just heard that Oklahoma city police is gonna go full time encryption with law dispatch as well hope that's not true I would hate for that to happen.

You can thank the geniuses that frequently post non-major incidents/traffic stops in nearly real-time on social media in the OKC area.

Also seems like DOJ has been cracking down on the broadcasting of PII over the air in a lot of areas recently, as this continues to be cited when major cities have encrypted their dispatch talkgroups...even cities with PIC/records talkgroups...
