Should they go fully encrypted, it's a good reason to forbid them from using cell phones in their vehicles just the same as the rest of us. It should also eliminate the need for department issued cell phones (if applicable).
They'll be no need to use a cell phone to communicate sensitive details if they can just switch to another encrypted talk group and communicate that way.
Since most companies don't allow cell phones while working, a police department could be required to forbid officers from using cell phones anytime while on duty. Combine that with recording all radio traffic, and it could add a nice measure of accountability.
Yes, because calling victims and witnesses while on the way to the call is clearly completely unreasonable. People kill me when they think they have all the bases covered and they miss the obvious.
We (officers) don't need to only talk to other officers on our radio system. There's outside agencies, citizens, and officers that do not always have computers or radios handy (command/supervisors).
