Police officials revealed Tuesday that some NYPD radios may be spared from the ongoing encryption process, yet some pols say that may not be enough to quell
transparency concerns.
“One thing to keep clear is that the citywide stations are going to remain unencrypted,” Weiner said. “This is not an all-or-nothing situation.” For many observers, the prospect of silencing police radios from journalists’ ears is no joke. NYPD watchdogs such as the Legal Aid Society and members of the media have deemed the encryption effort as an attempt to quiet the airwaves, control the flow of information, and limit transparency.
Adams, however, remained defiant, however, citing officer welfare as being a deciding factor in the encryption decision. A spokesperson for the City Council, however, charged that the encryption process is a threat in and of itself to public safety.
