NYPD police radios may go dark by late 2023 or 2024 — potentially cutting off the public, volunteer emergency groups and the media from day-to-day radio communications.
More importantly, it may leave decisions on publicly disclosing news incidents largely in the hands of the police themselves, according to sources within and outside the department.
But the officer who criticized Farina and Mitchell might have his way when the NYPD encrypts all of its police radios with a flick of a switch, making their communications secret to the media and the public at large. “The NYPD is undergoing a systems upgrade that is underway and that will be complete after 2024. This infrastructure upgrade allows the NYPD to transmit in either an encrypted or non-encrypted format. Some parts of the city have had the necessary equipment installed and the Department will begin testing the technology in these areas later this year. We are currently evaluating encryption best practices and will communicate new policies and procedures as we roll out this upgraded technology.
“I was driving through Staten Island headed to a photo job when a call came in over the police radio,” Murray wrote in a 2015 Daily News article recalling his experience covering the Garner death. “The voice called for a mobilization of cops to a crime scene. Normally, they state what kind of crime it is; in this case, they didn’t. That kind of set off a bell.”
About 10 years ago, the Department of Justice mandated that police agencies observe privacy, prompting some departments to encrypt their radios to the detriment of transparency, open government advocates say. This despite very NYPD officer now reports personal information on department issued smart phones.
