      that one is around 4 thousand dollars whereas tetra radios (Mainly sepura and motorola) are around 3-400, that's because the radio in the video works 2 bands, has an extended capacity and is way more reliable in difficult situations.

  • @Black-kn9gt
    @Black-kn9gt 2 года назад +4

    As a Turk who lives in Southern Turkey. Our police is also using encrypted radios. I have no problems with that. Before the new digital ASELSAN radios they were using some old analog type radios and I was able to listen them. I love listening them. It's something like you have eyes on the city, whatever happens you can hear it.
    But they upgraded their radios for some purposes and I can understand that. If I'm able to listen them then all the bad people (criminals or even terrorists) can hear them too, and believe me that is not good. Now you can tell me "They are using codes to communicate" and I can say, if you listen police channels too much you are starting to understand them (even half of the words enough to understand the conversation) without any knowledge.
    What I see in the comment section is civilians are saying "why can police use encryption while we can't" "it suppose to be illegal to encrypt police radios". Guys I really don't get it. Why you guys have problems with that? Even something happens bad inside the department internal affairs can listen all the records. Yeah all communication are making over radios are recorded. So It's not your job to think that. If you really want to listen what is happening around you go and listen EMS channels.

      Laughing so hard right now. Each radio has a certain number of programmable buttons, (usually 2 to 5) so I would talk to Motorola about implementing that feature in to their programming software, and pay delivery drivers to buy hot doughnuts and bring them to the location of the radio that called.

    Keeping your communication secret is illegal. You have fallen for a lie Officer. You are a public servant! Your daily contacts, duties and activities are public information. No radio traffic should be encrypted! You have simply handcuffed the public (no pun intended) from holding you and your officers accountable. Maybe that's why you like the secrecy. Your agency needs to be sued in court.

    • @WausauPoliceDepartment
      @WausauPoliceDepartment  Год назад +3

      I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because it is not illegal. All radio communications and videos of those contacts are public records and can be received via open records request.

    • @socalsecurityspecialist864
      @socalsecurityspecialist864 Год назад +1

      How can the public know if an incident occurred to look into unless your agency releases the information? How can the press know live updates? Your agency controls what is released. I know you are smart enough to comprehend this and it's sad you take this position. Google what I'm saying. Many agencies are being sued in court currently for this very reason. Unfortunately the feds pushes the p25 encryption requirement which started under Obama. Typical leftist ideology to cry fascist to the otherside while creating these types of government mandates. No matter which side of the isle you are on, a police officer should always stand on the side of freedom and TRANSPARENCY

  • @stephenscorzo
    @stephenscorzo Год назад +1

    While I understand theres a need for sensitive info to be concealed, there should be encrypted tactical channels, however, I am wondering if enough people can petition there city to create a radio plan that allows for a unencrypted digital dispatch with several encrypted channels. In the past many agencies would simply say something like "211 in progress, suspect is black over brown, heavy set, unknown if weapons utlized tac 8". Many previous sheriffs deputies often spoke to a dispatch center and only the output frequency was able to be heard, while the input wasn't.
    From my experience, a lot of police agencies in my area that were 100 percent encrypted, began to exhibit corrupt actions and often even internal affairs had difficulty monitoring those agencies.
    I also wonder if there is a way to create a police issue mobile phone that can use something akin to Zello to communicate as a backup over LTE (When you can't access your repeaters). These things can do what an MDT can, and you can upload video feeds from internal body cameras and take imagery, run licenses 10-29s...
    Overall, I appreciate the video educating the public on your departments radio structure.

    • @straightpipediesel
      @straightpipediesel 11 месяцев назад +1

      Motorola has that as an option, called SmartConnect. Radio communicates back to the trunked system via vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot or built-in LTE. Police smartphone-radio is the APX NEXT series. And it's silly that you think IA can't monitor them when trunked and repeater systems can and are recorded.

    • @stephenscorzo
      @stephenscorzo 11 месяцев назад

      @@straightpipediesel perhaps there's a log of all radio traffic since it's digital. A lot of the brass in orange county complained that at the time it made things less transparent. I just believe citizens should know what is happening around them since they're paid for by tax dollars. There should be groups that educate the public as to why police traffic should be unencrypted and it should be put to a vote rather than just automatically all be encrypted.

    Funny it is illegal for citizens to encrypt radio traffic. Shouldn't radio traffic be public info, with a backup channel if you have to be discrete? How does the media find you to do a story? Are they given this encryption key?

      @WausauPoliceDepartment  4 года назад +8

      While we understand the public has an interest in what we are doing, for safety and privacy reasons the channels are encrypted. The media does not have access to these channels. Fire/EMS channels are not encrypted so the media will sometimes hear information via that route.

Oh, and soccer moms on local county Facebook groups listening in with scanners / scanner apps and then telling everyone whats going on...meanwhile some other idiot just HAS to go on scene and check it out. It is an unfortunate thing. I love listening to Police/Fire/EMS, and unfortunately alot of Fire and EMS agencies are going encrypted too. Gone are the days.
