I thought that after Columbine, the police departments were going to be working with other departments and sharing their encryptions so they could talk with each other. They haven't?

The state went out and paid for a bunch of repeaters and a state radio system in which they have what they call MAC (mutual aid channels) channels that are programmed into all cooperating agencies radios, so they can speak to each other as long as they are on the same type systems. The problem as described above is, they are unencrypted and anyone can hear. Back in Columbine time, we had people on the 155 MHz, 400 MHz and 800 MHz systems and they could not speak to each other. Now, most are on the 800MHz and above systems.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
