Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to Implement Encrypted Radio 
Communications
The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will begin transitioning to fully 
encrypted radio transmissions during the week of August 11, 2025, as 
part of a continued effort to protect sensitive information, ensure 
officer safety, and enhance operational security.
The move to encryption aligns with regional and national best practices 
and reflects the growing need to safeguard real-time tactical 
communications and personal data transmitted over law enforcement radio 
channels. By securing these transmissions, the Sheriff’s Office can 
better protect the integrity of active investigations and the safety of 
both officers and the public.
“Public safety is our highest priority,” said Sheriff Ricky Cox. “By 
adopting encrypted communications, we are enabling our deputies to 
perform their duties more effectively while reducing the risk of 
interference, misinformation, or unauthorized access to sensitive 
information.”
The transition to encryption will not impact the public’s access to 
critical updates. The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office remains committed 
to transparency and will continue to share timely information through 
press releases, public alerts, and official social media platforms.
Residents are also encouraged to sign up for Calvert County Alert, a 
free, countywide notification system that provides real-time updates on 
traffic incidents, road closures, severe weather, and other emergency 
events. To enroll, visit www.CalvertCountyMd.gov/Alert.
For more information or media inquiries, please contact the Calvert 
County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Office at (410) 535-2800 or 
via email at ccsotips at calvertcountymd.gov.

73,
