The only town that I know of that is fully encrypted is Hudson NH PD. The issue with this is that surrounding towns can't help them as fast as they used to because they can't hear them. I know a few officers in Hudson and connecting towns, and that is their complaint, it takes longer for mutual aid from the PDs.
The other places that I know that encrypt, are able to shut it on/off, or they only have 1 specialized channel to switch to that is encrypted. The issue with switching over is money, just like everyone switching over to digital frequencies, it's all about money.
Just my opinion, we shall see what happens.
