Why can't they use cell phones/Nextels?
Probably because a lot of the communications are NOT official business,
while they're supposed to be on duty and conducting official business.
A great deal of personal B.S.ing on their "private" Tac, I'm sure.

As for additional talkgroups.
I'm sure they already have official Tac talkgroups.
All talkgroups are likely recorded, as they are in my area.
They sure as hell don't want that.
