The local police station where I live went encrypted years ago so I can't listen to them, however I can listen to the Victoria Police Department and the Sooke RCMP as they are digital and in the crest system.
Almost nothing is encrypted here, and only a little is digital. You can still grab 90+% of the stuff around here with a Pro-2004
Local PD has one analog FM channel and one digital channel, but it is not encrypted. They speak on it at times like they think it is secure, I wonder if they think it is? The local mil base went digital and secure for base operations, but the base PD and FD are still analog and clear. All of the county agencies around are analog and in the clear. The county SWAT unit has a digital and secure channel. That is about it.
Basically I can hear almost everything for a 90 mile radius, with only a couple of channels that I can't get. We are behind the times here, kind of very 1990's in comms here.

This is the kind of activity that pushes public service to digital and encrypted.
And while I am totally against banning any kind of radio from private ownership, this is also the kind of activity that gives strength to regulations on what can and cannot be sold in the country.
