Pending approval of the Lapeer County Board of Commissioners, Lapeer Central Dispatch may be putting a crimp in those who listen to emergcny calls on police scanners. A fate of a proposal to make all county emergency radios encrypted, at a cost of $60,000, could be decided in the coming months by commissioners. Central Dispatch officials hope to make the move by late summer, if the request is approved. The request comes as a result of what some officials say is too much information being posted on social media, often before victim’s families have been notified of an incident.
