"The encryption effort is part of an effort to boost police safety and reduce the chance of bad guys monitoring transmissions," said Mayor Eric Adams. He elaborated on how criminals often exploit police communications, explaining that they do not inform law enforcement of their methods. His emphasis on the need for encryption highlights the challenge of balancing public transparency with operational security for police activities.
NYPD's Rebecca Weiner reassured that while many precinct channels are being encrypted, "the citywide stations are going to remain unencrypted... This is not an all-or-nothing situation." This statement underscores the NYPD's effort to ensure some level of public access while enhancing security protocols.
