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
Police and Fire shared the below frequencies.
Now, all of the frequencies below are linked together and facilitate Fire radio traffic in the Canterbury region outside of the Fire Christchurch and Timaru 2 Fire exclusive channel areas.
