Conformity is the jailer of freedom, and the enemy of growth. 

President John F. Kennedy, Sept 25, 1961

 


The following press release has been posted on December 21, 2023:

 

Beginning on January 23, 2024, the following Johnson County police agencies will begin full encryption of their radio communications. 

There are several reasons for moving to encryption, the most recent being to comply with the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy (CJIS). 


On December 7, 2022, an FBI CJIS policy went into effect related to Criminal Justice Information (CJI) in transit. The policy reads, in part, that “When CJI is transmitted outside the boundary of the physically secured location, the data shall be immediately protected via encryption.” 


Affected agencies, to include the above-named, must be in compliance with this policy at the time of their next regular CJI audit. Audits related to CJI are conducted by the Kansas Highway Patrol.  


Criminal Justice Information is the term used to refer to all of the FBI CJIS provided data necessary for law enforcement and civil agencies to perform their missions including, but not limited to biometric, identity history, biographic, property, and case/incident history data. 
This policy will help protect the privacy of those individuals, including victims, witnesses, and suspects, whose personal information is transmitted over a police radio. This includes such information as names, social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, medical and mental health conditions and histories, and more. All this information could be used in the day-to-day operations of a police department and therefore broadcast over a police radio. 


In addition to matters of citizen privacy mentioned above, encrypted radio transmissions also serve to enhance officer and public safety. In Johnson County, suspects have previously been known to monitor police radio transmissions to ascertain officer movements and patrol response tactics to elude responding officers during the commission of a crime. Encryption will allow officers to respond efficiently and effectively to calls for service and communicate tactics without fear of suspects intercepting such information.
