For anyone who's curious, the closest equivalent in the US is P25[1] or "Project 25". And if you're wondering, yes, P25 systems have been known to have their own share of vulnerabilities of various sorts. My favorite one[2] is the one that lets an attacker force a P25 radio to broadcast tokens "on demand" allow you to (theoretically, with the right receiving setup and software) track the location of P25 radios more or less in real-time.

And on a related note, for anyone who is interested in listening in on any local P25 transmissions, you can do so in a fairly inexpensive manner, using an RTL-SDR dongle and the Open Source op25[3] software package. No listening to encrypted traffic, but IME, many (maybe most) public safety agencies keep most of their traffic in the clear. More so for fire/ems traffic. Law enforcement is more likely to be encrypted, but even then, I find that many jurisdictions only encrypt a small number of channels, like maybe a dedicated vice/narc squad channel, SWAT team channel, etc. General LE dispatch and tac channels are still in the clear in many areas.
