Um... how is this not already a thing? COMSEC isn't exactly rocket science and the technology to do so is readily available. Simply amazing.

AND... this is rich, they're going to share their encryption with the media. *bangs forehead on desk*
Until we went encrypted we were running into a lot more issues of bad guys using apps to listen to us.

The problem is other agencies can't either so it becomes difficult with mutual aid situations.

I worked for an agency that was encrypted and went un encrypted. There was a time that the media was yelling about transparency with police departments and this was one of their complaints. After numerous instances in each PD I think they are realizing they are much safer being encrypted. Also, the media would hear calls for service get dispatched and either show up while it was still in progress and get in the way or start demanding explanations while it was still in progress and the investigation hadn't even begun yet.
