The NYPD’s recent encryption of critical radio frequencies limits press access to vital public safety information, impacting the media's ability to cover emergencies and breaking news.
By encrypting the Special Operations Division channel, the NYPD aims to prevent criminals from using police information against them, though they have not provided evidence of media misuse.
Editors and journalists have relied on NYPD’s radio communications for over 90 years, ensuring effective coverage of breaking news and public safety incidents in New York City.
Despite citing security concerns, critics argue that the NYPD's encryption efforts hinder transparency and accountability, as journalists are left without immediate access to crucial information.
