    That was really late.

    In Sweden, police radio has been encrypted since they switched to the current system called Rakel in 2010.
    The police are also not the only users of Rakel. Some users include the military, emergency services, various government orgs, and a bunch others.

    The system is run by MSB (Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency).
