Concerned citizens of Manteca, California are demanding that the Manteca Police department remove the encryption on their radio communication system. Due to the escalation of gang activity, violence, and vandalism in the city, residents of this city are left unaware of critical events that are occurring. By allowing the citizens of this city to monitor police radio traffic, it enables citizens to act as additional eyes and ears to help better protect our own neighborhood, and work with the police to combat crime.
