Pueblo Police to Encrypt Radios

[Martinjmpr]

I thought most police agencies were now using UHF "trunked" communications that were very difficult to listen in on anyway?

I don't fully understand trunked communications (which is sort of embarrassing because I do have a ham license) but I had thought that it was not easy to follow those frequencies. Not like in the old days when everything was on VHF and in the clear.

Trunk tracking is trivial and built into every modern scanner.
