The only radio traffic from Sites 5-001/002 that are in the clear are Interops 4 to 10, Chicago 2 (TG 25019), and the patch for Tinley Park Fire Dispatch.
Is the Tinley Park Fire Dispatch patch active all the time, or just during events in Tinley Park?

I absolutely get compliance with privacy laws. I absolutely agree with following the privacy safeguards in Illinois FOIA. CCS needs to admit that there are TGs on their system that have no radio traffic containing anything relating to privacy concerns.
It was just easier for them to encrypt the whole system by default I guess. Who really knows but them.

Ok this is weird. It keeps switching talk groups. Is it them switching from encrypted to non encrypted? And that foreground came from me. There was a encrypted signal received when they were at the fire alarm

Ok, so as a bit of an update, here is what I have so far:

Fire 1 User IDs from the old TG coming through on 2798
Fire 3 User IDs from the old TG coming through on 2799

Meaning,

Fire 1: 2798 Full ENC
Fire 2: Still on 2752, no ENC. Would their new TG be 2797?
Fire 3: 2799 Full ENC

I said the wrong TGs there.

Fire 1: 2797 Full ENC
Fire 2: Still on 2752, no ENC. Would their new TG be 2798?
Fire 3: 2799 Full ENC

Another weird thing is NWCD is jumping with the new TGs and the old TGs very so hours

It sounds like they are simulcasting legacy TGs with the new encrypted TGs. Perhaps this is for testing purposes, and ultimately will switch to the new encryption ones.

Looks like yet another Will County LE agency went encrypted. This time, it's Romeoville PD. They briefly switched to their Tac channel before switching back to TG 1951.
