I can verify that for sheriff there, couple buddies are deputies one involved in communications says same thing to come but he didn't give date. This was in Dec when he had visited.NO!!! Damn...
Well THAT's going to eliminate a lot of TG's from the ol' TG programming list...:-(! Major bummer but can't say I am terribly surprised.Hardor PD incident commander accidentally came up on 9A during the incident, so that statement doesn't really hold true. The only thing that changed with HPD was they are encrypted, they didn't remove any existing channels from the radio.

Absolutely! And now with the social justice warriors "war on police" with the help of members of congress and other high ranking government officials jumping on board to paint law enforcement as a systemic problem of society, you can bet that what remains of the police, law and order and other first responders is going to sink deeper into the abyss of secrecy. Ultimately, this is what you unwarily voted for.I strongly believe that the BLM issues and events of 2020, played a major role in departments descisions to FULLY encrypt all radio traffic, and use the CLETS memo as the "excuse" to do so.

That's the knee-jerk reaction to the policy whether true or not is debatable. One thing is clear however, law enforcement must operate more intelligently to mitigate the damages that the narrative I mentioned earlier has created. As difficult as it is to swallow for hard core monitoring enthusiasts as myself, I totally get it!ALL encryption does is GIVE the paranoid reinforcement that they ARE hiding something, and it prevents ALL from actually hearing all the crap they DO currently have to respond to and deal with.
Given that sheriffs seemingly haven't bothered to adjust how they handle potential PII on their inquiry channel, I'm not exactly surprised. Wouldn't be shocked if Carlsbad followed too. Oceanside (who I listen to most) are the only people I listen to regularly that seem to have actually adjusted how they handle the information. (Mostly, not saying a combination of things like Name, DOB, and DL number together over the air)
