You can do both: encrypt the transmission for security and record it in a tamper proof way for transparency.
Except there are ways around that if you’re not careful.
Back in the 90’s I was active with the USCG in the Boston area. Most comms were done over marine VHF radio, but they had a secondary encrypted radio they could use when desired. The problem with that encrypted radio system was the audio quality wasn’t great and the range was limited, so in the later half of the 90’s as cell phones became more popular they switched to that for private comms. The quality was much better and the range extended to virtually anywhere you had line of sight to shore.
So you would need any recording system to securely record all communications along with a way to correlate them.
Corrupt cops are gonna have a signal group chat for off-the-record police brutality and evidence-planting 👀
