New Zealand Police
Digital Network
Police operate a P25 trunked digital radio system in the ESB (VHF 138-144 MHz) and ESC (UHF 494-502 MHz) bands. This includes an AES 256-bit encryption layer, which secures the radio network from unauthorized monitoring.
Tait Communications radios are in use, which deploy OTA encryption keycodes.
Note: although modern digital scanners are able to decode signals, they are unable to decrypt them.
Historic Frequencies
All Wellington analogue frequencies are currently linked to Palmerston North.
