All Wayne County and City of Richmond law enforcement has officially flipped the switch to full-time encryption. I called Wayne County EMA and spoke to the director who did confirm that law enforcement officials "made it a priority" to go with full-time encryption. As of right now, there are not any plans of encrypting Richmond Fire Department (154.400 VHF) or Wayne County fire (154.010 VHF)/Reid EMS who share the same TGID (12437).

Confirmed Encrypted TGID's as follows:
12435 Wayne County Sheriff
12436 Richmond Police Department
12440 89 OPS 1
12443 89 OPS 4
12444 89 OPS 5
12445 89 TALK

Sounds like RPD and WCSO fell for the ERS Wireless salesmen's nonsense again - there's a radio shop that sells Kenwood kit LESS THAN 1 MILE from city hall and the courthouse!

RFD is sensible enough to buy their stuff from the local guy though

Kenwood can be encrypted as well. It’s a standard. It’s all about Hoosier SAFE-T! Not!
The Government in this town / county has become very corrupt and non-transparent!
The people in this town should have not posted the crap on Facebook; and definitely not rebroadcast it! I’m from the old school where when you scanned, you basically took an oath to keep it to yourself!

Yeah buddy, I agree with you 100%. There are/were at least three "community" scanner Facebook groups running simultaneously for Wayne county alone for a few years. Every single little call was posted. Stubbed toe? Posted. Self-inflicted GSW? Posted.

I won't blame the Facebook groups entirely- but they definitely didn't help. Now I have around $2,000 worth of radio equipment that's almost useless to me because of the big E. At least fire is still in the clear.
