Cannot find information on local Police comm type

I did some searching online today but did not find anything that tells me for sure whether or not the police and fire are using digital signals here. There is a web site that does stream the local sheriff's communications. I notice that while most of it is very clear, a few of the transmissions sound like they are being scrambled in some way.

Lane County, Oregon Live Police, Fire, and EMS Scanners

That site has a forum but the one thread devoted to OREGON, has zero posts in it.

I guess before I decide whether to get a scanner I should find out more about what else I might hear above 30MHz besides police and fire and such things. The police are not my main interest in radio listening, they are only a side interest for me and not terribly important.

What else is up there above 30MHz that can be picked up fairly well?
