    Updated Channel List for the Treasure Valley ICAWIN System

    It’s been some time since Ada County transitioned certain channels to encryption, and I thought it would be helpful to share an updated list of the channels that remain unencrypted.

  • Ada county encryption

    Ada county Sheriff recently announced that they are encrypting all police channels.
    Official press release

    The only source of information i have about this is the press release above, however in reading it, it seems that this will only affect Police channels, not Fire and EMS.

    That being said, Canyon county police are all already encrypted so Ada county will be the only impacted area.

    I do not believe this is in the interest of the public as i believe transparency and accountability go hand in hand. It makes sense that Tactical channels would be encrypted, however i see no valid reason for other channels to be encrypted. Update your policies and use data channels for sensitive information.

    Citizen Joe will continue to broadcast as always. I do not anticipate much of a change at all to the channel over all am continuing to plan for expansion into new areas.
