Boulder police radios going encrypted means public, press won’t be able to listen in

Boulder Daily Camera: Boulder’s police radios will no longer be available for curious minds and ears starting Tuesday.

Up until now, anyone interested in what the Boulder Police Department was doing could go to a police scanner website, such as Broadcastify, and listen in on conversations between officers and dispatchers. That poses security concerns and is less efficient for big operations, according to BPD spokesperson Dionne Waugh.

That’s why a new radio system the department is switching to Tuesday will not be accessible for the public to listen in with ease anymore.
