📰 News we're reading
• Loudoun County Police Issue Statement On Switch To Encrypted Radio Communications (patch.com) — Middleburg Police, alongside other Loudoun agencies, are encrypting their radio communications this year, ending public scanner access to live police traffic. Officials say the move protects victim privacy and officer safety, while critics worry about reduced transparency and slower public alerts, so residents will need to rely more on alerts, releases, and social media for timely information.
