Do we know which phase it is? 1 or 2?

It says right in the data that Brian shared, phase 1.

Never mind didn't see it. So no need for extra $$$.

That's good. I bet they'll encrypt everything police-related as per the usual but we shall soon find out.

Sometime recently it appears that most talkgroups were moved to encrypted transmissions for field units while dispatch consoles remained in the clear. I confirmed even the long time talkgroup patch for Fontana PD has some encryption from the field units who are on the P25 side. It seems at this moment only the High Desert Detention Center remains fully in the clear.

i have noticed the same but it seems like its only the field units that are enc, when dispatch talks it seems like its in the clear. wonder if they would fix this or would San Bernardino be the next LASO as talking terms. (dispatch only in clear and cannot hear field units)

On Tuesday, September 15, the County Board of Supervisors will be approving an amendment to the rebanding agreement with Nextel. It will revise the agreement from a system re-tuning to a system upgrade to be performed under the current system upgrade contract with Motorola.
