A while back I confirmed WPD tac was encrypted. As of late WPD OPS 1 has also been encrypted. TG 102.
Not much true but as of when I started this thread there has been some encrypted traffic. It's definitely something new. I've been monitoring WPD since the new system began and never heard encryption on OPS 1 until the other week. Like I said I've been hearing it everyday for about a week. Less than a minute here and there. Nothing more than that.Coolrich,
I listen to WPD all day, in my station ... in Waterford ... at home ... and while its got some 'buzzing' from activity, there is not really much activity on it.
It's not swat for sure and I doubt it's narcs. Who knows maybe they don't even know they turned their encryption on. If you listen to Subase fire units there's always one unit that has the encryption on, on their radio. All other fire units are in the clear. Does he know his radio is encrypted? Why aren't the others encrypted? It's obviously not a protocal thing otherwise they'd all be. Probably doesn't even know it's on. The only people that really notice are ones with scanners lol.Swat team Surveillance narcotics As long as the primary channel stays in the clear that makes me happy but it would be nice to hare everything in the clear
I think this is fairly common on encrypted systems. There's always that wayward radio that's in the clear, and I've always wondered how that happens. I see that on the Greenwich system. Once a week or so you hear a random unit in the clear, but the other side, presumably dispatch, is encrypted.It's not swat for sure and I doubt it's narcs.

True. Today Subase PD dispatch is in the clear. Always normally encrypted as well as the units. Makes no sence. Someone hit the wrong button.I think this is fairly common on encrypted systems.

It has been for several years now. It sucks because when they went digital they made a point of stating that the system would remain in the clear and they didn't see a need for encryption, but here we are. All the other little towns in Fairfield County have their police encrypted, so I guess Greenwich felt left out of the party.Is Greenwich going to full encrypted mode?
You mean there are no plans for the dispach tg to encrypted. Were there plans for the ops tg's to go encrypted? Hope you're right but wouldn't be surprised if they did."Wateford PD: Might just be a gradual transition to full encryption. This is it occured in Yonkers last fall. A few field units had it then dispatched remained clear before all field units got their new radios and then dispatch also went dark. Would bet both Mount Vernon and New Rochelle PD's do the same."
... there are no plans for WPD to go encrypted at this time.
