This is because in most communities, the PD, FD, and ambulance service/EMS will have gotten their radios from different suppliers. And the suppliers usually don't let their crypto work with other suppliers' crypto. So the PD can't talk to the EMS without going through their central dispatch, to the EMS central dispatch. Further, one community's PD might not have bought the same radios as the neighbouring community, so if the PD is chasing a criminal and they go to the next town over; the local PD can't just radio to the next town's PD "Hey, we're chasing a guy, care to help?"
