The police do have procedures and do behave much better than the general public.
As also repeated the police has extra security constraints, which must be balanced with any benefits the tracking app bring. Clearly they think that allowing a third party app which goal is real-time tracking, on police phones has more downsides than upsides.
I don't know anything about American police and I don't care. This is not the topic of the discussion, which is about an UK tracking app and UK police forces.
I do think that shooting this advice against installing the app (on police phones) and my comments down is largely being obtuse because it's the police or because they don't want to acknowledge the specificities of police work.
