ICYMI: 'It is critical that the safety of New Yorkers and public transparency be safeguarded regarding radio transmissions, because community first responders and entities that inform the public rely on them.'
“It’s terrible, it’s just terrible,” said Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, when asked about encryption at a recent City Hall rally. “I’m gonna try to figure out something here.”
But last week, the NYPD also issued a statement indicating that it is “currently evaluating encryption best practices and will communicate new policies and procedures as we roll out this upgraded technology. We will listen to and consider the needs of members of the media when making these decisions.”
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams at an unrelated recent rally, calls NYPD radio encryption “terrible.” Advocates and media members say full radio encryption would severely hamper the press efforts to cover breaking news stories, leaving the NYPD in virtually full control of the narrative. Jenn Topper, an attorney with the Committee to Protect Freedom of the press, said media access to communications is essential to the public knowledge.
